Re: [Apple-Crop] Test, IFTA in NZ, and MyIPM and Harvesting windfalls

2018-02-19 Thread evan owen 
To Mo et al, on the subject of harvesting windfalls, from the cideries
perspective. At the period of time we are talking about ( big PYO sales
weekends) no one is sending "drops" to the cider mill because there is
plenty else to do. This is also a big volume time for the mill. In my view
mechanization is the only way forward. We have installed a water dump
inline to eliminate stones so this leaves the matter of rots. If a machine
was able to "keep up" percentage of rots would be kept low. Last year I
took the cider HAACP food safety training program and I discussed with the
instructor the use of fruit harvested with a "hedgehog" <
https://youtu.be/UD2A-JP85Lc >. He saw no problem as long as it was used
quickly. Now if you could scale up one of those do-hickies, you might have
something.

Michael,

I've given sweepings to locals with pigs, and feed to my few dozen goats,
but otherwise they just make a smelly compost. I can mechanically pick up
in two days what used to take 18 man days so we aren't too far off of where
we'd like to be. For $10,000 the Perouso looks interesting if I can reduce
the number of passes thru the orchard. Scalping has also been an issue
we've been trying to deal with. Pretty easy to shave up and sweep an eight
foot by five foot strip of turf into sweeper.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Maurice,

The only market would be Hog/Pig Farmers looking for supplemental feed.

Also Dairy Farmers like apple mash for cows.

The Cider Mill I use sells all the pressings to these type local farms.

 Hi Kurt,

I've seen units there but as you say no cider maker would be happy with
stones in the bin. We're at the point of raking them out from under trees
with either a paddle rake or spider to drive middles (more or less) and
then either sweeping with modified Sweepster or grinding with flair chopper
and then fluffing up the mash a day or two later to facilitate drying.
Capacity of sweepster pretty small. I did hear of a Perouso Koalo 1600
https://www.peruzzousa.com/Collection_Flail_Mowers_s/106.htm but of course
apples would be of no use but at least orchard would be clean, I'm
guessing. I don't know if there is a market for whats left on the ground
Monday mornings.

Hello Mo,

I have long been looking at and considering the automated drop apple picking up 
machines that are plentiful over there….but have concerns about them picking up 
stones with the fruit as well as not being a able to differentiate between good 
and bad apples….which means the need for grading what is picked up.  I would 
love to demo one here but it is not easy to find one on this side of the ocean. 
 For this reason we continue to do our orchard floor cleaning using man power 
after each big picking day.

Best,

Kurt

Apple-crop has been kind of quiet, I have three things on my mind:

1.) testing apple-crop to make sure it's still working

2.) if interested, follow International Fruit Tree Association while in New 
Zealand on Twitter using the hashtag #iftaNZ, or by visiting it's Facebook 
Page, https://www.facebook.com/IFruitTree/

3.) check out the newly revised MyIPM app or both iOS and Android, search for 
MyIPM in their respective app stores; the app is designed to help with 
fungicide and insecticide resistance management, however, it has lots of other 
useful information to make spray decisions, all at your (smartphone) finger 
tips -- feedback on using it can be directed at me...

Spring is coming...

2018-02-18 Thread Jon Clements 
It seems to be increasing, I wonder if it is weather related? Or changes in
insecticide use? Above-ground, unless it gets really bad, I don't think
it's a big problem. Below ground, well, I have not seen it be a real big
problem (yet?) either? If it bothered me, I would probably treat with an
effective systemic insecticide, such as Sivanto. Any WAA experts out there
who care to expound upon the issue here in North America?

Hello Jon,

Received.  Over 9 inches of snow in Northwest New Jersey last night.  Pruning 
while our colleagues are down under….and heading to Fruchtwelt am Bodensee in 
Friedrichshafen, Germany at the end of the week!

Best,

Kurt

Apple-crop has been kind of quiet, I have three things on my mind:

1.) testing apple-crop to make sure it's still working

2.) if interested, follow International Fruit Tree Association while in New 
Zealand on Twitter using the hashtag #iftaNZ, or by visiting it's Facebook 
Page, https://www.facebook.com/IFruitTree/

3.) check out the newly revised MyIPM app or both iOS and Android, search for 
MyIPM in their respective app stores; the app is designed to help with 
fungicide and insecticide resistance management, however, it has lots of other 
useful information to make spray decisions, all at your (smartphone) finger 
tips -- feedback on using it can be directed at me...

Spring is coming...

Jon
