Unfortunately, no Red Glare for 2024.  The farmer has asked to have the fields back for nutrient management on March 1st. It is our understanding that this request stems from the requirement by the Maryland Department of Agriculture that restricts spreading manure and other nutrient sources from December 16, 2023 through February 29, 2024. Once the farmer starts spreading and incorporating manure on the field on or after March 1st, the fields become unusable for weeks.
