On Thursday, the final small print “remay everything,” is actually a major task. Remay (should actually be spelled Reemay), has become a generic term for row cover fabrics (Kind of like how Kleenex became what we call the stuff we blow our noses with). The row cover brand we use the most is Agribon. These lightweight fabrics act like blankets that also let sunlight and water pass through. They keep our early plantings a little bit warmer, and also protect them from pests.
If you drive by the farm, you’ll see whitish fabric covering parts of the fields. It’s a group effort, unrolling all this fabric, and covering the edges with soil to keep it from blowing away. It’s big, heavy, and unruly, like trying to unroll giant balls of twine that keep getting twisted.
Despite the world’s great turmoil, these vital simple tasks continue.
