Warmer weather signals spring farming in Lorain County
C J Hummel, Lorain County extension agent, says warm spells will trigger spring field work and warn fruit growers to time dormant spray for scale and red mite before buds open. He notes red mite infestations were heavier last year and may be again unless controlled. Greenhouse growers faced cloudy days reducing tomato watering and complicating cucumber and lettuce production. The Ohio Vegetable Greenhouse Day at Wooster on April 12 will cover these issues, with Lorain County hosting 17 greenhouses spanning 40 to 50 acres. Huffman of the Ohio Experiment Station aided the survey and greenhouse program planning.
