The seasonal calendar used to manage everything.
Each month has defined activities for farmers and stations. The truth is conditions are far more dynamic now.
Weather drives the calendar now.
Fixed months for each activity aren't enough anymore. The same tasks now respond to conditions, not dates.

Mulching is all year round now
Longer dry spells and unpredictable rain mean soil protection can't wait for a season. It's needed whenever conditions demand it.
Field work has weather windows
NPK needs 1 dry day before 2-5mm of light rain so moisture carries it deeper to the root system. Get the timing wrong and it sits on the surface or gets washed out the farm.
Scouting for disease
Fungal spores germinate after periods of leaf wetness, disease germinates within certain temperature ranges in that period. Targeted scouting removing diseased cherry in sealed bottles reduces infection transferring berry to berry.
The right time to harvest
We alert farmers to the best time to start harvesting, usually a week after the last heavy rain, so the tree can deliver moisture to the cherry and better develop the sugars.
"After a heavy rain, farmers see the fertiliser that has been washed down the erosion channels and collected in the pits. It's a penny dropping moment. Those pits are then emptied and put back under the trees."
