Is Covid-19 reshaping our orchards and industry?
Join us back in orchard as the Autumn Future Orchards® walk explores the immediate challenges triggered by Covid-19 and how these are reshaping our orchards and our industry. Has Covid-19 moved us closer to a labour-less orchard – and if so, what will be different about its design, technology, operation and production costs?
Join Ross Wilson and Craig Hornblow from AgFirst as they discuss achieving key objectives required to meet the labour and efficiency challenges, drawing on orchard design, technology and production costs.
