My family settled in Gratiot County 1872, They were all farmers near Wheeler and Breckenridge
Lived in a few cities and small towns in Mi over the years. now a few minutes from Lake MI in the country on a few acres. Close to Hart and Ludington. We’ve had to use window boxes and make tents from clear plastic to ward of frost and even small indoor electric heaters to extend the season. Only once on a plant did we get bud rot… soo lucky.

I graduated Breckenridge in 1989. I probably know some of your family. I took crop and soil science classes in school instead of biology. It was a big thing to be in FFA. Never new back then how I would come to use that knowledge but boy I am sure glad I did.

That’s cool! Crop and soil science probably made a huge difference. Glad it’s helped you with growing
I’m sure you probably do know some… They had large families and some kept their farms in their family. I know many cousins that don’t farm but are still in the area. One was a professor at CMU. I won’t get into how my Grandfather got us to Sag… I’m an autistic nerd

Thank you kindly 
Any of you Michiganders interested in some Skunk Hawaiian pollen. I have two males that are just starting to release. The seeds came from AMS this year. Figured I would share here first and if I have some spare I will offer it in another thread. Peace Kavman
