From the Editor

Winter is a time for pruning, planning and learning, and we’ve brought some of each of these in this newsletter.

Don’t miss the great learning opportunity next week at the Ontario Fruit & Vegetable Convention. Note that the Apple Day has moved to Thursday, February 19, starting at 9:30 am in Room 204. Speakers will talk about orchard mechanization, cost savings, fertigation, storage, pest management, and our grower panel will share how they are “Ready for the Weather”. The full Apple Program was in your last newsletter, and can be found on the website at www.ofvc.ca

If you missed the Pre-registration, you can still register at the door –although lunch is not included. Come early – you will need time to browse the Poster exhibit, take in a Workshop or Demonstration, and visit the Trade Show. If you come on Wednesday, you can also enjoy the Feature Speaker at 4 pm, and the Fine Wood and Food Event at 5:30. Susan Sweeney is our Feature Speaker this year, speaking on “Not Your Dad’s Farm – Current Trends of Farm Use of the Internet,” a review of the latest trends in the farm use of technology. Also the Wednesday morning session on China will give you a profile of this fruit and vegetable producing giant.
