 I'm Peggy Martin. I co-own Cedar Creek Gardens with my business partner, Bud Mankey, and we are in the middle of South Dakota. We have 14 acres into production and 12 combination of high tunnels and caterpillar tunnels. We grow a variety of crops. We have a lot of specialty crops, including we have pumpkins and melons and then winter squash. We always climb and grow everything except our chokes because we don't like them. We have three farm stands. We actually put in our very first self-serve one a couple years ago and it's going great. So that means there's no person there. You just have a money box. And then we have four farmers markets a week on top of a large wholesale route that is about encompasses probably 100 miles to the west and 100 miles to the east. So one of the issues that we deal with yearly is weeds. We're looking for ways to integrate cover cups to build our soil because soil health is very important to us. So Dr. Lang and Dr. Burrows reached out to us and asked if we'd be interested in the tarping project. We obtained our tarps this spring and we put them down, dealt with the challenges of the wind. And we left them for a lot longer than we normally would be on the point that we normally plant our root crops such as our carrots and beets because that's what we did for the tarping project. And there was a lot of challenges with it. Again, it delayed our planting and then it got really dry. So we had to do constant watering to get the carrots. But what we found that when we pulled the tarps up, we still had weeds. And so we ended up having to till to terminate those weeds. And that, again, we were like, why did we go to all the work of tarping when we still have to till and we're bringing all the weed seeds back up to the top? And so it was kind of a defeated moment, but we still pressed on. We were hoping that we could get it to work. So the weeds definitely outpaced the carrots and the beets. So then we mowed and then we weeded some of it, but we determined that the cost of labor to weed it was going to outweigh what we would ever gain and profit. So we made a lot of decisions along the way and really didn't find that the tarps were a benefit. Next year, we're hoping to incorporate some flame weeding so that we can suppress some of them weeds a little bit more. There were just a lot of challenges with it. I can see the benefits of it in certain situations, but if it's real dry like we were last year, it just got too dry and the ground was too hard. So we had to till after we took the tarps off to even be able to plant. So there's some challenges, but can I see some benefits? Absolutely. And the ideal soil and if there's adequate rain, you definitely would have some labor saving. So we're going to tarp again next year. I'm hoping that we get them on earlier, we did get them on a little bit later than we wanted to. I just want to say thank you too for investing the time in the dollars. Sometimes when you're doing a scientific field study, it's great in theory, but it's actually the farmers, the ranchers, the gardeners that are out here trying their best to deal with not ideal situations that a lot of time I think that you learned the most.
