Future Orchards summer 2016 wrap

Summer 2016 | Future Orchards® | Program video

This short video provides a seasonal wrap of Future Orchards® activity. It is designed as an extension update rather than a detailed technical report, giving growers a visual summary of the program, orchard activity and the management themes being discussed during the summer period.

The value of the recording is its field context. Future Orchards® used orchard walks, Focus Orchards and adviser-led demonstrations to connect research and best-practice concepts with the day-to-day decisions growers make in commercial blocks.

Use the video as a companion to the written Focus Orchard reports from the same period. Those documents provide the detail behind individual trials, while the video helps place the work within the broader national extension program and its seasonal priorities.

Because the archive does not provide a more precise publication day for this video, the date is recorded conservatively as the start of the 2016 summer archive period.
