Second thoughts, may delay opening a week

Went through the patch thoroughly today, Tues., Aug. 4. Still less than 50% ripe. Having 2nd thoughts about opening this Sat.. Worried that we are going to have to delay the opening. A couple of guys from the Farm Service Agency (part of the USDA) checked the crop for our insurance policy and they have a systematic approach to estimating the crop. They estimate it at about 6000 lbs, which is about the average. Last year's crop was over 10,000 lbs, similar to the summer of 2005. Crops in 2006 & 2007 were in the 2000-3000 lb range. We will decide Thursday about Saturday.
