Pine Tree Ranch Grower Field Day

Winter Prep and Crop Estimation

The California Avocado Commission will be hosting a grower field day at Pine Tree Ranch. Dr. Ben Faber, UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor, and Dr. Danny Klittich, Director of Agronomy at Mission Produce, will lead a discussion on frost protection and cold weather preparations. CAC staff and Wayne Brydon, Grower Manager at Del Rey Avocados, will discuss crop estimating and the importance of an accurate industry estimate. Following the discussion sessions, attendees will have the chance to walk the grove to get a better understanding of how to estimate their crop and what things to look for to be prepared for cold weather.
