Mierau's Muskmelons Ripen Toward Big Henderson Harvest
Henderson farmer Don Mierau and his father cultivate 3 000 muskmelon plants on a three acre patch southeast of Henderson. He aims for a 40 000 pound harvest using hybrid varieties from experiments begun as an independent study after his 1973 NU degree. Produce will roll to supermarkets in Aurora Sut ton Henderson and York with strong local demand and stories of customers seeking his melons over California fruit.
