Quite a few of our former and current customers have expressed an interest in our progress in seeking justice from Paul Offutt for our mobile marketing stand and sign. We will occasionally post developments in this case and will eventually make all the details readily and publicly available.
We will not be responding, at this time, to those who are triggered by the misinformation being put out by Paulβs collaborators.
Regarding the damage to our mobile market stand: we will be able to show, that our stand was damaged by a forked loader, not by wind and that this damage was intentional, not accidental.
On to our production season: We had quite a rude awakening when our first planting of 500 cantaloupes was eaten by deer, save for 2 plants. The deer herd has been building and we didnβt get it reduced last year. We lost 40% of our last cantaloupe planting in 2025. The good news is that our grower friends in southern Indiana at Melon Acres and Mouzin Brothers, gave us access to their back up plants. We replanted with these plants and covered up 2,000 foot of row with fabric in low tunnels. Additionally, I have shot two deer from this field. Itβs a start.
Iβll be back with more information on progress in our early plantings in a bit.
