@FruitDefender @applesnpearsAU @howardhansentas Tas growers keen to see if netting is worth the investment in Tas climate. We will compare fruit set and pack out % of netted vs unnetted.

Best management practice of pasture under irrigation is key to making it profitable. Average mgt doesn't pay. @MgrDev #RedMeatUpdates
