Join us at APAL's Future Orchards Harvest Orchard Walks from 6 - 10 February to review the season and discuss the harvest to come.
This Harvest Series Orchard Walk will be taking place in Stanthorpe on Monday, 6th February.
Ross Wilson, Horticulture Consultant at AgFirst for Future Orchards will use block data to lead discussions around block targets set for the season, management and potential new options and solutions if you are not tracking on target.
What you will learn:
- Identifying your crop targets and specific management actions
- How to measure if you are on track
- Using your block data to optimise returns at harvest.
- Setting up for high colour harvest and a good return crop
- Budgeting for harvest labour
Please note: A BBQ Lunch will be provided after the Orchard Walk at 1.00pm at Rizzato Orchard. Attendees are invited to make their own way to Rizzato Orchards for the Orchard Walk and Lunch.
