SECONDARY WEIGHOFFS HAVE BEGUN AND THE BIG ONES JUST A SHORT TIME AWAY
WHO WILL BE THE CHAMPION IN THERE CLUBS ??????
I DONT KNOW ,BUT I DO KNOW THIS

THERE ARE SOME IMPRESSIVE FRUITS GETTING READY FOR A ROAD TRIP TO TOPSFIELD THIS YEAR RIGHT HERE IN " LITTLE RHODE ISLAND "

WE HAVE A CORE GROUP OF GROWERS THAT ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HELP ONE ANOTHER YEAR ROUND --- AND IT WILL PAY DIVIDENDS THIS YEAR
I WOULD HOPE THAT FROM A SIX STATE WEIGHOFF AT TOPSFIELD ON THE SECOND, THAT THE RIPGA GANG WILL PLACE TWO IN THE TOP FIVE ,AND TWO MORE FROM SIX TO TEN + ONE FROM BIG DAVE THE HAMMER WHO IS ALSO IN OUR GROUP BUT LIVES ON THE CAPE

SORRY IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE BRAGGING BUT IM PROUD OF THE WORK AND EFFORT EACH HAVE DONE TO HELP ONE ANOTHER REACH THIS GOAL

It seems to work in Hillsboro Co, New Hampshire too Dick.

If forming a club or growers association does anything at all, it should be to foster a state of cooperation among members. The internet has already removed many "secrets" from the sport. So probably the biggest remaining barriers are self imposed by isolationism.

The elements of luck & skill still exist. But at least a family can go on vacation without having to install remote cameras, sensors & security measures.
