Hey AgrBizz Pals and Grower Friends...

We are All Heart-Broken and Grieving the Assassination of a Great-Bold Christian Witness...Charlie Kirk.. 31 Yr.Old Christian Activist...Wonderful Husband and Father ...a Dearly BeLoved of the Christian Community...Murdered in Utah at a College Youth Gathering. The Assassin appears to be in Custody.... ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™โœ๏ธโœ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ˜ฉ..
The 10-Day Forecasters at WunderGroundWeather are Thinkn Lots of Sun...Mediocre Chance of a Splash of Rain Tomorrow Morning..Not Much... The High Temps Expected for the Next 12 Days All Mid-70ยฐF's to Mid-80ยฐF's....Early AM Lows all around 59*F. No Serious Winds... DayTime Humidities kinda High...DewPoints kinda Low...... Absolutely For Sure Yes... In our Post-Harvest Tanks for All Tree-Fruits..and Lotsa BerryCrops.. I'm doin *Zinc.. *Boron.. *ReDox Triplex Micro.. *VitaZyme*1 Pt.. *CS2005*1 Pt...*SaniDate 5.0 at 25-30 oz.Ac... And...We Always Take a few Minutes and carefully scrutinize the Inventory in the Spray Shed... You'll want to Do this when planning 'Post-Harvest-Tanks'... Look for the Partial Containers of all the Reeeeaaaaally Cheap NukeRoid stuff. Find your CS2005.. Find Partials of Fungicides..and Nutritions....And Apple Guys...Sevin XLR...or Carbaryl4L...Ain't Cheap...If I Have a Part-Jug..??..I might dump it in my 'Post' Tank. But I'm keeping the Jugs that are still sealed up in the Dry-Non-Freezing-Over-Wintering Room.
Ya can't really 'Legally' OverDo SevinXLR...The Label says we can use a Rate of 1-3 qts/Ac...Up to 8 Applns..Also says 15 Qts.Max-per-Season.. That's almost 4 Ga.. That would be approx $275-Ac..Soooo..Nobody is doing that ...
That Sevin/Carbaryl comes in Reeeaaaaally Handy between Petal-Fall & '1st Cover'...Sometimes we seriously 'Gotta Have It'...When/If We cannot see any Fruitlets getting loose after a cupla Thinning Applns... ....Thinning Apples...
I always remember what my Brother Bob always said..."The Goal is to get into the 'Cycle' that requires us to seriously Thin every Mid-May...We need to always make sure we are not Over-Cropped..If you end up with a crazy huge Over-Cropped' situation..You're assuredly gonna have all Juice Apples..and the following Spring you'll have Zero Fruit-Set"... ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿฅบ..So...When you consider that scenario..Both of those years, you're certainly gonna lose serious money. ....You doin ReDox..??.. Did you try doing ReDox a few years ago and encountered some 'Mixing-Issues'..??.. I did hear about some of that ...but..now ReDox has almost all of their Key-Products in Liquid-Form...in 2.5 Ga.Jugs..No Xtra Cost..Veerrrry Wonderful.
ReDox has 35-40 Bio-Nutritional Products... They have covered all the Bases...
There are 2 or 3 of these that the ReDox Strategists use in 'Post Apps' on Tree Fruits and Berry Crops.
These ReDox Products employ a Complex of Carbons.. Humics.. L-Aminos.. All ReActed Plant Nutrient Components ..derived from their Proprietary Fermentation Process. Nobody else has Nutrient-Products formulated this way.
Our PNW Friend 'G.S.Long Co.' has done piles of really impressive Trials... Side-X-Side Trials with numerous other Nutrient "Programs"... ReDox always emphatically wins in these Trials...Impressively as several of the other 'Programs' cost A lot more per acre-season than the ReDox Strategy.
A lot of PNW & Great Lakes & Northeast Pals have 'Stopped-the-Bleeding'...Not doing any of the 'Dry-Granular-NPK+Micros-Bulk-Blended-Fertilizers' any longer. Those Cost Huuuuuuuuge Money and do Sooooo Very Little Good..and in many cases actually do soil harm.

All Property Owners are likely interested in signing the Petition "AxMITax"... Check Out 'AxMiTax.Org'...Petition to Stop All Property Taxes in Michigan. If you are a Registered MI.Voter..Please Sign. If you signed once already in the last several Weeks, please do not sign again..as it might Void the entire Page of signatures when the duplication is detected. These Petitions only circulate til the End of September..and if we have enuf Signatures, it should be on the Mid-Term Election Day, November 2026.
In 2023, there were 183,000 Michigan Property Owners facing tax foreclosure. The Deep State has made us all Perpetual Renters of our own Property. They have been outrageously holding our own Property Ransom on an Annual basis. Michigan is one of the worst.
In Florida, the 'State' does not collect any Property Taxes...but instead... it does have Laws that the Local *County *Township and *School Districts must adhere to ...to stop UnFair Taxes.....I am seriously saddened about how many Folks are not aware of who Charlie Kirk was... He was a Deeply Devout Christian..a great Husband and Father.. He was arguably the Best Debater Ever in History... Always Veeerrrry Successfully Debating Socialist-Leftists... A very strong Believer.. strong Constitutionalist...Very Patriotic... Charlie was 31 yrs. Old...Assassinated..Dead...his Soul Now in Heaven's Bliss. We Fervently Pray for his Wife Erica and their Beautiful Children..and for Charlie's Legacy... Our Awesome God has a Righteous, Compassionate, Loving, and very Supremely Divine Intelligent Plan... Bringing Charlie Home is Part of His Plan...

Wishing You All a Safe and Blessed Weekend.... In His Peace.....

Fruit Ridge Notes
Monday - August 25 - 2025
Hello Grower Faves & AgBizz Associates... 25th ...Only 4 Months til CHRISTmas..!!!...
Hey.... We got 4/100ths In. Rain Saturday Morning..!!!... Alpine-Comstock got 1/100th... Sparta-North[14 Mi] got 7/100ths ... Fremont 9/100ths.... ClarksVille...Nuthin....And... Yesterday ...Acupla Little Rain Clouds Rolled Up and Gave us a bit of a sq**rt... Nothing really measurable....The WunderGround 10-Day ForeCaster Folks are Now Thinkn... Huuuuuge SunShine... A lot... Decent Chance ThunderStorm Thursday... Several early AMs in the 40*... Shouldn't hit 80ยฐF again til possibly Sept.2nd or 3rd...but Hopefully Not then either...
Kinda Breezy Today-Tues-Wedn... Then all 10mph or Less...
.Some PremierHoneys being Harvested... Wow...Beautiful..!!!... The Flavor is Outrageous Good...
.Yes... In Poor-Coloring-Weather..??... the Risk of 'Red-Internal-Bleeding' is less than in Great Coloring Climate. What do we call this current Weather Trend..??... Are you getting Good-Coloring weather..?? Great SunShine Yes Maybe ...But...Quite seriously Humid..Alot Humid... and the Night-Time Temps need to get colder...
I know the Processors dont like alot of Reddish Flesh in the Apples... ReTain helps reduce that ... A Big Crop-Load reduces the Bleed Also... A good Redox Nutrition Strategy has been consistently known to reduce the Bleeding... Wherever you have historically prolific Bleeders ya gotta do a really serious ReTain Strategy *Early & *Late..2 Apps.. and Keep SpoonFeeding your Redox Strategy.... Especially if Big Humidity Keeps up and your Crop Load is sketchy.....Also... Always Refer to E-154-Pgs. 316-317-318 for Fungicides Bactericides "Days.P.H.I."....
And...Pgs.319-320-321 for Insecticides-Miticides Days-PHI... Make sure what you entered into Official Records CoIncides with E-154...
These E-154 Pages are Soooo helpful.. especially if the Print on the Product Label is Reeeeaaaally Teeeeny...
There isnt really a EeezzyPeeezzy Chart explaining the Legal-Seasonal-Limits-per-Acre of the various Pesticides..??... But if you look at the "Insecticides and Miticides for Fruit Crops" ...Pages 50 thru 60 - E-154... You'll notice that almost all the Fave BadAss NukeRoids & Neonics tell us toward the end of their 'Paragraph' how much we can use per Season.
For Example...ABBA 'Abamectin'...the 1st one on the List...Says... "Do not exceed 2 applications per season on Apples.. Pears.. Grapes.. Plums..Prunes... and 1 application per season on Strawberries." It doesnt mention Rates and Limits of A.I.
But...Looking at the product Apta... It says "The maximum yearly amount of Apta15SC that can be applied is 53.5 oz in Pome Fruits.. 54 oz. in Stone Fruits.. 81 oz. in Blueberries.. and 54 oz. in Caneberries"... (these products are not the same of course, this is just an example) If you use a computer for anything at all, may I suggest a website that gives you ALL of this info at your fingertips.. https://www.agrian.com/labelcenter/results.cfm Check it out if you're having issues finding PHI, REI, Seasonal Limits, etc.. ..Yes...This is Very Truly Effective in every Crop we work with... All Berry Crops ..All Veggie Crops... All Fruit Crops... Using Multiple Low-Rate-Pre-Harvest Apps CS2005.. Prevents several Post-Harvest Molds & Rots. Use 1 Pt-Acre in most cases. Some Certain VeggieCriops 12 oz-Ac.
I know some Florida SweetCorn Guys that do 1 Pt-Ac the night before Harvest and their 'Delivery Rejections' stopped. Their Corn was gettn Moldy after only 2-3 days on the Store-Shelf... "005" stopped the Problem Dead in It's Tracks.
And... I have Field Crop Guys that add $5 worth of "005" into 2 or 3 Apps per Season...and they say when they're Harvesting... Their Machine stays beautiful JohnDeere Green...No Black 'S**t' Crap... Yup..."005" seriously fights all Diseases very Systematically... ..Yes...About 3 Yrs ago..The Late Great BeLoved Jeff Alicandro said..."101% Prevention remains the Only Sound Approach for controlling FireBlight in High Density Apple Plantings...and fortunately we possess all the Tools necessary to achieve near Perfect Blight Control even where Strep-Resistance is wide-spread"... In several dozens of his Writings...Jeff says to get in asap after Trauma with the Systemic CS2005 ...He normally did mention 1 or 2 more Cu.Products...but always mentioned "005" first..and also Jeff was one of several Researchers that confirmed "005" is very 'Systemic'..while No other Cu.Products have that endorsement...and...He also really liked SARs...and our PGR 'Kudos'... Jeff also liked the OxiDate 5.0... It turns out that everything Alicandro really Liked..??..Has been Really Workn Great for Us... And my Faves that Dial-Down for their Perfect"TRV" Per-Acre-Rates are Gittn This Done Sooooo LowCo$t Cheap..!!!...

Lime for the CA Room..??... Yup Ask Nancy...616-678-7708
Ladders..??..PicknBuckets..??.. Yup....
This UpComing WeekEnd includes Labor Day Monday...Our Office/Warehouse Hours will be:
Fri 8/29: 8a-noon (closing at noon on Friday)
Sat-Mon 8/30-9/1: Closed
Tues 9/2: 9a-5p

Fruit Ridge Notes
Tuesday - August 5 - 2025
Greetings Grower Faves & AgAssociate Pals... We are All Prayn for Rain...the Ridge Area is especially Dry.... Wow....Brown Lawns all Over the Place......The ForeCasting Experts at WunderGround doing the 10-Day are Sayn TonZaSunShine... Almost a Chance of Very Little PreCip Friday AM...and another Almost Chance Monday-Tuesday..Maybe.
And All High Temps really quite High...Averaging really High 80*s... Early AM Lows all around 70*F.
DayTime Breezes All 6 - 12 MPH... Humidities Expected to be Ugly for Elderly Fat Men...Why do We like the El'Cheapo NukeRoids in our 'Post-Harvest' Tank-Mixes..??..like on Cherries.. Peaches.. Cots.. Blues.. StrawBerries...Everything...as there isnt any 'Fruit for Market' left out there..??...๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿคจ...?? Because if we can in any way successfully interrupt the LifeCycle of any of those damaging Insects at any Time..??..like right now..??... We will have Waaaaay Less to Exterminate next Season. If I have Half-Billion Insects goin into Ground-Trash for their OverWintering Stage..???... Instead of 1 Million..??.. I'm gonna have a chance to maybe NOT Need to use one of the Big-Dollar-High-Priced-Bad-Ass BugKiller next May-June... And...If we are dealing with 20 different Damaging Insect Pests in most Crops..??... We can seriously Mess with 3/4s of them by doin some LowCo$t-Almo$t-Free-ButtKickn NukeRoids in a 'Post'... A Post-Harvest Appln makes Huuuuge Sense...as it affords us the Opp to get several very Important things done... Insects.. Disease.. Nutrition... In most Cases, Two [2] 'Post' Apps are very Smart-Money... This is especially Smart where there was some disturbing History developing with Specific Symptoms of a specific Disease or Insect Pressure.
And.... There's almost always a few of those NukeRoids left on the shelf in the Shed... and Im never scared to buy acupla more Dollars worth to make these last "Killem-Swings" worthwhile.....Yup...Some 'Post-Harvest' Applns goin on certain Blues Varieties in the SW Corner.... The Very Best Tank-Mix I have looked at..???.... This Delivers a Poke of "P" and "K" and Seaweed and Zn and 5 Bactericides and 6 Fungicides and 1 Insecticide... 5 of these Tank-Mix-Partners are Xtreeeeeemely Systemic..!!!...
Per Acre...
**3 Pt Formula-II-SW $13
**3 Pt K-Phite-7LP $13
**2 Pt OxiDate 5.0 $8
**6 oz. Slant[Propiconazole/Tilt] $3
**12 oz. Acadia2EC[Abound] $6
**20 oz CS2005 $10 This amazing KickAss tank-Mix-per-Acre-$$$-$53
Compare to Full 20.3 oz Rate Pristine = $68 ...Contains only 1 A.I.Chemistry that works..???
Compare to Full 20 oz Ac Rate InspireSuper = $36
Compare to a Single Ol' S.I. Proline = $26
Compare to another Single Ol' S.I. Quash = $24.50
And...For Killn Insects... Ya gotta see what you have left in 'Seasonal-Limits'...
If I can..??...I'd be using...
Acronyx4F [Imidacloprid] 3.2 oz.Ac ...plus
Batallion2EC [Brigade] 6.4 oz.Ac ...plus
MustangMaxx 4 oz.Ac ...or ... AsanaXL..9.6 oz.AQc...
And...I'm also having 1 pt-Ac VitaZyme in this tank...
If you're keepn your 1 pt-100-Ga-Indicate 5 and 1 pt InSpray 90 per-100-Ga..??... These All Tank-Mix really fine...Yup...Jap Beetle are all over the place...Just Killem... All my Faves will Killem... All... and always TankMix 2 or 3 of the Nearly-Free NukeRoids/Neonics... I hate the J.Beetles more than most people hate them. I just DO NOT want the awful-ugly things building resistance because someone goes out with a Low-Medium-Rate of One [1] NukeRoid... spending $1 Ac-Equiv ...instead of $5. You can do Full-Rate Serpent[Warrior] and Full-Rate Acronyx4F[Imidacloprid] and Fullrate Baythroid for $7... 2 Modes-Action...3 separate molecular compositions... ... Talk Again Soon... Stay Cool....
...and In His Peace...

Friday - August 1st - 2025

Hello Grower Pals & Agr.Bizz.Associates... Hope You've Had a Nice July '25... It's Over.. Gone...
.....And an Old-Fashioned Hot-Summer-Month It Was. My Bride of 56 Years Says the last Summer she remembers like this was 1960.
But... 15 years before our time, in 1936 it hit over 100*F for alot of Days in Late June--1st Half July... Detroit had over 100* 8 days straight...Saginaw hit 111*... Mio, Michigan 112*F....350 People died.
Right Now..??... the ForeCasting experts at WunderGround-10-Day are Thinking ...
Lotsa SunShine... No PreCip.....the Highs Today-Onward are to Be 78*-77*-84*-86*-86*-87*-88*-88*-90*-87*F
....and the early AM Lows Tomorrow-On...51*-56*-58*-60*-62*-64*-68*-70*-70*-68*F ...
Winds 10mph or less for a Week... Kinda High Humidity every day...
Wow... Reeeeeaaaaally Thankful Soooo Many of You have Irrigation ......Gotta Stay ahead of the BrownRot Threat in Peaches...Lots of later Varieties yet, to be Harvested...
5 oz Cevya ... 5.1 oz. Miravis...Both "G/E" Rated.. Both around $26-Ac...
If You've got 14 Days before Pickn..??.. I'd certainly have EndigoZC in the Tank along with Acronyx4F and AsanaXL. If you've got 7 Days before Harvest I'd for sure be doin Arvida and BaythroidXL...
And.... For Those Guys that add "005" to every Tank always..???... Leave that Out now ...On Peaches...2 Weeks PreHarvest... But... Immediately 'PostHarvest'...???...1.5 - 2 Pints..Ac. "005" with the SuperPhites @ 2 - 2.5 Pints-Ea. 'K-Phite-7LP & F-II-SW' and 1 Qt OxiDate 5.0 ...and Big Doses of the LeftOver-On-the-Shelf-Inventory of NukeRoids... Id be having VitaZyme in this 'Post' Tank also.....New Orchards and Nurseries and Pear Orchards ....are All still at Risk concerning FireBlight. Those of You doing the "Prevent Strategy" are in good shape... If you do get a Huge Trauma Storm Event...You simply increase your PerAc.Rates and add Strep..Immediately following the damaging Storm... The Strep has a 30-Da.'PreHarvest Interval' on Pears ...Your NonBearing & Nurseries do not have a 'Harvest'...
... That 'Prevent' Tank-Mix Again..??... for CoverSprays-Easy-Maintenance-Rates..??....per Acre... 1 Qt.Each *K-Phite.7LP & *Formula-II-SW.. 1 Pt.*CS2005.. 1 Qt.*SAver.. 1 Qt.*OxiDate 5.0.. 4 oz.*Kudos... In the Post-Big-Trauma Appln...just increase the Rates by 30%-40% ..and add 1.5 Lbs. of Original Formulation Strep...or 12-16 oz.of the New Strep Formulation...It kinda depends on Who you Believe... The 'E.U./USA Trade Deal' concerning Tariffs... I'm gonna believe DJTrump. I am betting the New Deal will benefit U.S.AgriBizz starting very soon...like now... The 27 Nations involved with 'E.U.' are gonna be committed to several new criteria that will benefit the USA with serious impact. I didnt realize that we've been doin almost $2 Trillion annually with the EU...The Orchard Tour put on by Lake Ontario Ag Consulting and Cornell Univ.Extension was Yesterday... I didnt see the notice in time to give a HeadsUp...๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿซฉ.... I think they had pretty decent weather for it..??... I Hope it went Well......In His Peace ... Locked & Loaded...r

Fruit Ridge Notes
Monday - July 28 - 2025
Greetings & Salutations Grower Friends & AgrBizz Associates... Hoping Ya'll Are Gettn Thru This Heat.... The Rains were On-Off-Very-Light-Spotty-Here-Not-There...
And....The 10-Day-ForeCasting Crew at WunderGround is Sayn ... Seriously Tons-A-Sun... All Mid-80*s to Low-90*S.... No Serious Rain-Chances... No Big Winds.... Several Veerrrrry Humid Days.... I Recommend All Ol'Fat Guys stay in A/C...Some Faves Not Doin the 'Summer Pruning' Trick...Too much Heat & Sun Stress... Where they have been doin the Kudos Strategy, this will be fine. I cannot believe the difference in those Blocks where the Kudos was not in the Mix... There's some 40-Inch-Growth out there...Instead of 7" to 10"... That 40"Shoot is robbing needed Moisture.. Creating too much Shade for Red Varieties..and certainly looks UnKept.
I'll bet if someone really seriously calculated all the Costs involved in 'Not Doing Kudos'..??.. It would Pay for the Kudos Strategy 5X Over ...maybe 10X Over... And....Some of Ya's have proven that SummerPruning ahead of or during Really Hot-Big SunShine Weather will increase SunBurn..SunScald.. FruitRot and Storage DisOrders.....Recent Visit with Another Happy Fave that employs the Low Co$t Multi-Disease-Prevent $trategy... Doin the *SuperPhites 'K-Phite-7LP & F-II-SW' ..and *Oxidate 5.0 .. and *CS2005 .. and *SAver... He believes this Tank-Mix applied with really good Coverage doing Alternate-Centers with a Trip-Thru every Monday..Getting him a Complete Cover every 2 weeks.. is the Key to Keeping Clean. The Fruit Finish always looks Great... And...this Tank-Mix is Veeerrrrry Cheap compared to many other common choices...Dija Know that one of my Fave "A.I.s" of 'NukeRoids' is Permethrin ...named "PermUp3.2EC" ..??..and that A.I. has 45 other names...???... In some States its only Labeled on 12 Crops..??... In Michigan Labeled for 118 Crops..??..
The Label is the Critical Factor when Staying Legit... Getting the correct EPA-Regulated-Pesticide that's Labeled for the crop you're using it on... and then the Labeled Restrictions...such as Maximum-per-Season Use Limits... Per-Acre-Rates... PreHarvest Intervals... Specific Minimum Days Between Applications ... Every Season some Fave Growers mention they're saving Tons-A-Bucks by taking a few minutes and reading Labels themselves... and not blindly following someone else's 'Program'...
Knowing for sure what you can do and legally Cannot Do can $ave you 25% - 35% on your annual Cash-Out-Go for Pesticides...Yup... Yes Indeed for Sure ...We are Keeping the Calcium Applns Goin-Strong on Honeys...Actually on any Variety that is Prone to BitterPit.... Lots of You have Proven that the Late-Season ca Apps indeed make a difference... All Ya's have seen that the Early-Reeeaaaally-Early-Season Ca.Apps do the most good..??... But Proof is the Late Season Apps are also critically Needed.....The Tart Cherry Guys that are done with Harvest have been doing Post-Harvest Applns.... Targeting 'LeafSpot'... Doin 1 Qt.Each of the *SuperPhites.. 1 Qt. *CS2005.. 3 Pt.*Echo720/Chlorothalonil... And also...Same Tank...2 or 3 almost free NukeRoids... Do 8 oz.PermUp 3.2EC .. 5.12 oz.Serpent[Warrior]... and 3.2 oz.AcronyxF[Imidacloprid]..If you somehow got some Pesticide applied somewhere that wasnt Labeled for what you thot it was..??..but an identical Product is fully Labeled..??... Be very Careful how you Officially Record... I recall a Fave Grower Pal that inadvertently missed a Pre-Harvest-Interval by 3 Days... The Auditor could not help him...because it was written into the Official Records Officially Wrong...

Hey All BeLoved Grower Pals and Agr-Associates and Friends in the Neighborhood... Coming Up Thurs-Fri-Saturday August 7-8-9 and Sunday-10th.... ...A Huuuuuge 75 Family "2nd-Hand-Sale" ....Some Veerrrry Cool Stuff being positioned in the Gymnasium at Trinity Lutheran School... NorthSide Harding St...Just east of 16th Ave.... East of Conklin... Harding is the same as 11 Mile Road...
Please Plan to Stop In and Shop for some Goodies...Some of this Stuff is very serious 'Estate Sale Type Quality' Items... and of course some normal Yard Sale - Garage Sale kinda Stuff. This Production is being done by the LCDSF...'Lutheran Christian Day School FundRaisers' ...a 501-c-3 that puts on Events to Raise Funds for the TLSchool Tuition Assistance Fund. More Details i.e.Hours-Open etc coming soon.
If Ya Wanna Donate something for Sale..??..Check with Linda Reister..616-723-4344...or Marcia Fergusen 616-901-9698... or Deanna at RGSs...
And...
...Dont forget about: Ladders, Picking Buckets, CA Lime.. Harvest is right around the Corner...
Back Soon.... In His Peace.....
