It’s been a busy week here at Pine Island Cranberry! We’ve finished this year’s planting project today and hit our 2012 goal of 51.83 acres planted, all in new Rutgers varieties–thanks to the efforts of the renovation and planting teams led by Joe Colon and Tug Haines.

Our roughneck fertilizer applications have begun. We are on pace to complete our fairy ring treatments ahead of schedule, we are monitoring for bluntnose leafhoppers, and as always, we are being vigilant about frost events.

As the season goes on, we will continue to introduce you to the Pine Island team. In the upcoming weeks, we will also talk in detail about our renovation program, which is a crucial part of our growth plan…and, of course, the ongoing management of this year’s crop.
