Mark,

Thought there might be something at their website, but there wasn't.

Last word is that it's going extremely slowly, due to permitting issues (they can only open up a couple of holes at a time) and money issues.  A lot has been shaped but no holes have been planted yet.

As Tom mentions, the word is 'slow going'.
The grow-in is very tough due to the recent drought and the nature of the clayey soil.

The current plan to concentrate on a few holes at a time seems to be working, although time consuming.

Expect two more years.
