The Australian Olive Association has developed a “Back to Basics” Field Day with support from the National Farmers Federation, to provide key information for new olive growers and those thinking about becoming olive growers.
A particular focus of the day is on how grape growers can leverage their existing enterprise to grow olives, and also make the most of olive trees they may already have in their vineyard. However, the information is for anyone looking to enter the olive industry or manage a neglected grove.
Topics will include site selection, varieties, irrigation, grove management, pruning, pests and diseases and harvest options. Several industry equipment suppliers and service providers will also be on hand to show you what is available to make your grove as efficient as possible.
Presenters will include Michael Southan (AOA), Michael Thomsett (AOA), David Braunack (Two Sisters Wine Co), Leon Atsalis (Eclipse Enterprises), Jared Bettio (Mt Torrens Holdings).
Details:
Thursday, 12 December 2024 – 8.30am-5pm
