Biochar plots progress

All 3 biochar plots are progressing.  The Mason county plots were a little weedy, but roundup was applied a couple of weeks ago.  The Cass plot is in good shape.  The Calhoun plot, which I was at on May 27, had some emergence issues, and is being affected by critters, but overall looks good. 

I have not yet been able to discern any major visual differences in the corn between applications.  I plan on visiting the Mason and Cass sites next week to see their progress.

Biochar plots planted

All 3 biochar plots have been planted to corn.  I will start to post pictures of plots in the next few days, and will continue to post pictures throughout the growing season.
