Harvest 2024 starts here! A few hundred thousand happy plants soaking up the sun shine this week! Thank goodness for good irrigation to keep them going!!

These will be used for fruit production next year 🍓💦🌱☀️

Electric weeding ⚡️⚡️

Nice to finally see a demo working up close on a neighbouring farm!

Big fan of non chem weed control for what I'm involved with, electic kills it all the way to the roots, just as glyphosate would! Super impressive, black marks show contact area ⚡️👌

Huge fan of the magnetic trailer lights!

Don't use them very often, but when you need them, you need them! Helps when you're ocd with working lights 👌

Simple as that really 👀 who'd make life so difficult.. 🤐

Does work a treat though 💪🍓💦

[New Leaf Irrigation Limited @NewLeafIrrigate]

Heron pH rig usually controlled by float switch in receiving tank but tank filling pumps are at distance and timer controlled so float switch controls the rig fill valve directly then a flow switch after the pH sensor starts dosing. Tank fills=valve closes=flow stops=dosing stops

Delivering the goods 💪 Huge fruits well into September!

The season may be slowing down but there is still plenty of British fruit available 🍓🇬🇧 #softfruit

From bread and biscuits, to cereal and vegetable oil, British farmers are harvesting day and night, in a field near you 🇬🇧👨‍🌾🍞🌾🍻

@XantheClay @chrisfruitnet Not sure on the plastic smell, but it's probably as simple as an irrigation imbalance, or as happens in mid summer with high fruit load, the plant can't produce enough sugars for all the fruits demand, leading to some with lower brix (sugars) and a more acidic taste

At almost the size of a tennis ball the #Murano is putting out the berries. Will be picked tomorrow so someone will have this in their punnet soon!
