Business Development Group Update – January 2019

January 2019 | Prepared by Nic Finger, AgFirst | Future Orchards® Business Development Group newsletter

This January 2019 Business Development Group newsletter is part of the Future Orchards® seasonal series prepared by Nic Finger of AgFirst. APAL’s archive identifies it as the January 2019 issue for the 2018–19 Business Development Program.

The Business Development Group series is built around practical monitoring and OrchardNet-based decision support. Growers are encouraged to record block performance through the season and use crop-load, fruit-size and production information to make more deliberate management decisions.

The archived PDF is the authoritative source for the detailed January recommendations. Its value is greatest when read in sequence with the surrounding 2018–19 newsletters, which connect seasonal observations with harvest preparation, crop estimation, packout and profitability analysis.
