Business Development Group Update – July 2018

July 2018 | Prepared by Nic Finger, AgFirst | Future Orchards® Business Development Group newsletter

The July 2018 Business Development Group newsletter is part of the Future Orchards® series prepared by Nic Finger of AgFirst and is identified in APAL’s archive as the July 2018 issue.

The subsequent September issue explicitly refers back to this newsletter’s message about “farming by numbers”: if orchard performance is not being measured, it cannot be managed effectively. The July update therefore provides the foundation for the season’s emphasis on monitoring, recording and using block-level information in OrchardNet.

For growers revisiting the resource, its key value is as part of the wider Business Development Group approach to production targets, benchmarking and evidence-based orchard decisions. The archived PDF should be used for the complete examples and recommendations.
