POTATOES APLENTY

HELLO…I’M RICHARD PACETTI

From land treated with 10 gallons of D-D® Soil Fumigant per acre, row treatment, Richard Pacetti harvested 195 cwt/A of potatoes. Untreated land yielded only 150 cwt/A. Here’s what Mr. Pacetti says: “I’m going to use D-D on every acre next year. If I can’t get D-D to put on my potato land next year, I’m not going to plant. R.P.”

MATANUSKA CABBAGE
Alaska

Verso: “This fantastic head of cabbage weighs 40 pounds about 30 days after planting. The midnight sun provides about 64 days of nearly continuous sunshine each year.”

ADDENDUM (8/13/10 12:45 AM): I completely missed the opportunity to make a dumb joke about double-headed cabbages.
