Van Donselaar field yielded 65 bushels per acre of open-pollinated corn. Some corn harvested with a picker lay down, leaving four and a half bushels per acre. Henry Kersbergen’s edge city home hosts 380 fruit trees including 320 apples and 60 other varieties. Apples ripened early and were mellow for keeping. Whitewash on trunks deters rabbit bark gnawing. Tomatoes are grown between rows to return investment. Henry owns eight acres with two houses on the property.
