We have noticed in trials that Neomexicana varieties do best on a different watering schedule. If we run a regular schedule with drip irrigation they hate it. It appears, from what we've noted, they prefer a water schedule much like they would receive in the desert south west. Periods of...

That's Awesome! :mug:

Pretty much nailed this right on the head. They are using all this grant money to evaluate what the rest of the industry already knows. Hop plants may physically grow but they do not produce any feasibly significant amount of yield that far south. Nearly every known variety with a few...

In a commercial hop yard setting 2nd year on plants only get trimmed once. after the bull shoots are 1'-2' tall. Repetitive trimmings are not necessary and can stunt plant growth and or introduce disease into the plant from continuously trimming shoots near the crown into the spring as disease...

Large yards rarely use rhizomes for a few reasons. As you mentioned they recommend planting 2, 3, sometimes 4 per hill to help guarantee the best possible take rate for a consistent looking yard. The cost does add up. This is why companies like ours offer plant material. One live plant per...

Rhizomes are very time sensitive as well. If you think there may be some viable nubbins the quicker they are planted the better. Once cut they start rotting from each end. The game is whether the bud will start growing before the rot reaches it. If not properly stored or planted in overly...

The rhizomes which are normally white and not to be confused with actual crown root growth should be trimmed off before replanting. Rhizome production takes energy away from the plant that could instead be used to push upward growth. Also, as silly as it sounds, make sure your planting...

I recognize those tags.. :mug: Those look great! Nice work!

The 50+ retail varieties we offer are available year-round and are pretty much always in stock. No need to pre-order. Just order when you are ready to plant. Although we do have a lot of people that order all through the winter months. The plants they receive are pulled from outside under...

Where are you located?

We have Plants available, but not seed. We obtained the plant material before they were taken private out west. I'm not sure you're going to find any other plants/rhizomes/seed in the market. We have Neo1, Willow Creek, Multi-head, and Amalia available year-round.

Check out or latest updated variety descriptions. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7aNkuU_q8iENFRRcGlMdURvWmM May help you narrow down your search. We also point people to beeradvocate.com to help correlate hop varieties to beer styles. We also have these same descriptions with each...

Hops respond really well to a granular thats close to a 20-10-20. Our rule of thumb is always sticking with lower phosphorus than Nitrogen/potassium. 15 - 30 -15 would not be ideal from our experience. We use a granular 20-10-20 Osmocote. A handful spread in a circular array around the...

Yes absolutely! Hop plants can grow several inches a day. People often underestimate their need for nutrients. Also, the root mat (aka "hoover" root mat) that is formed each year around the plant is what uptakes all the nutrients. There is such a thing as too much fertilizer, this would be...

Yes, we used 2 males, a known high alpha disease resistant male and a high aroma male. Again, our entire purpose with the program is to improve the commercial viability of some already known varieties and to do so for the mid-west region specifically. The incredible part is seeing the...

The Images B-Hoppy has supplied are great. It's a really easy technique if you only have a few plants. As long as you're getting them out of the soil and cut away from the plant without damaging the crown the method you use is completely up to you. We have more in depth tillage techniques on...

We don't brew ourselves so we wont be bringing any beer to the hop/barley convention. We will have a booth like usual as we do sponsor the event. I added an initial list of the first breweries to start brewing with our first new releases that have blown up. Michigan Copper TM and Mackinac TM...

We work with over 600 hop yards across the nation. The best cover crop feed back we get is a combination of Daikon Radish, wheat, and barley. We advise against clover as it has proven to be too evasive and hard to kill. In most cases profits acquired from the yields off the cover crops have...

Have you cut the rhizomes from around the plant? Usually by third year if you have not performed any root management underground you'll have rhizomes running off in every direction which is only hampering upward bine growth. While doing this it's also a great time to be applying a granular...
