During a brief 2-mile drive this morning the Peru Gazette came across four interesting stories
#1 – Adirondack Farms was cutting an extremely good hay crop in small fields adjacent to the Barney Downs. Rd. A quarter mile away on the River Rd. another Adirondack Farms machine was tedding cut hay prior to its being chopped. AMAZING TECHNOLOGY!!!!!!
Story #2 – Forrence orchard workers installed apple tree netting today in an orchard adjacent to the River Rd. and Barney Downs Rd. The netting protects the valuable Honeycrisp trees from hail and pests. This is the 4th consecutive year Forrence’s are using netting in this orchard. The netting is reusable. It has a fifteen to twenty-year lifetime.
Story #3 – Workers constructing a concert stage at Heyworth-Mason Park. The town plans to host its Sunday evening concerts at the park this year.
Story #4 – Many people walk dogs at Heyworth-Mason Park. Jillian Kezar walks her boa constrictor named Jackson. At six years of age, Jackson’s not too big, but Jillian said he should eventually grow to seven to nine feet long. She stated that boas live fifteen to thirty years. This is her third snake.
