Local Grocer Pioneers Tomato Irrigation at 618 Mississippi
Driver and owner Conda J. Hably operates Conda's Grocery and Market at 618 Mississippi. He has irrigated a one acre plot to grow and sell over two tons of tomatoes aided by air conditioning cooling and a five ton unit. Dr Davis advised on plant care and fertility. By late April young tomato plants were set a foot apart after 500 pounds of fertilizer. The hose from the conditioning unit irrigates the beds, creating an innovative farm setup tied to his store operations.
