Strike out Soil Disease in Onions
Strike soil fumigants provide a barrier of protection from soil borne disease in the first 6 to 8 weeks, buying time for the onions to yield a healthy and vigorous root. Soil health studies prove that Strike suppresses disease while also supporting biological diversity and soil health overall.
Onions are on the Way to Market
Harvested Onions will soon be on their way to your local market! Others will move to storage where they will be kept for anywhere from one to eight months, with the farm retrieving them as market demand rises.
