The 2014 hops season has started in the Lake Erie region. Most varieties at the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory (CLEREL) started to show growth on April 14 due to the warm weather over the weekend. By April 22, a majority of the crowns had pushed growth from 1 to 3 inches. This growth will be cut back in the near future to encourage more uniform growth across the hop yard and removes weaker early growth and encourages regrowth of bines with more crop potential.
