24.01.2022 Interesting #avocado news.

24.01.2022 You have heard us bang on about Farmable a fair bit now as Matt is part of the team as an advisor, but we are loving using an orchard management app that listens to what farmers need and want. Check out https://www.farmable.tech/ if you haven't already and give Matt a call if you want to chat more about how the app works.

24.01.2022 Weve been working with Farmable for the last twelve months to develop their orchard management app. After looking for a tool to fit our needs as tree crop growers, so far, this is the closest thing weve found to be a perfect match. On Friday night we are having beersnburgers in the Blue Sky Shed and demonstrating Farmable in action from an employee perspective, farm management perspective and an advisor (agronomist) perspective. Due to COVID restrictions this is an invit...e only event, but please get in touch if you are keen to come along! #growershelpinggrowers #orchardmanagement #farmablelife #agtech See more

22.01.2022 Good to see an investigation commence into the dealings between supermarkets and farmers. "Mr Littleproud said the ag industry was plagued with stories about supermarkets using their market power to get farmers in to contracts, "then pulling them out from under their nose". "Theyve made significant capital investment, and its sent them broke," he said.... "We dont want to kick this into the grass. Were going to do this, and sort this out once and for all."

11.01.2022 Today marks seven years for us since arriving at Blue Sky Produce for our steep learning curve 'tree change', after leaving Brisbane and spending three months tripping around Oz. These are the first pics we took here as the kids jumped out of the car and were thrilled to find new ducklings as their first farm discovery. We are very lucky to call Blue Sky Produce home

04.01.2022 Thanks so much to all of those who sent their positive vibes, kind thoughts & prayers for our beautiful Blue Sky Beau. We thought it would work, but unfortunately he didnt make it & we are all feeling a bit heartbroken . It has been so lovely to receive all the photos & fantastic memories from around the world from past workers who got to experience the special dog Beau was . Heres a few pics from the six very short years we got to have him as part of our family - he was Matts good mate . 3/3/14 - 8/9/20 BEAU FEALY aka #blueskybeau thanks for the memories

You can have your say via this short five minute survey: https://bit.ly/33kXEE8 FNQ Growers | Bowen Gumlu Growers | Bundaberg Fruit & Vegetable Growers | Gayndah Fruitgrowers | Lockyer Valley Growers Inc.

02.01.2022 Hort Innovation has recently begun research to understand the seasonal workforce in the horticulture sector, and the impacts of COVID-19. A collaboration between Hort Innovation and Ernst & Young, the project aims to: - Estimate the foundational seasonal labour workforce demands within the horticulture sector. - Understand the challenges faced by the industry regarding the seasonal workforce. - Assess how labour demand and supply are expected to evolve over the coming months.... - Identify potential supply gaps and other critical impacts from COVID-19. To this end, a quick survey has been designed to gather information from growers about seasonal labour requirements. https://ausveg.com.au//understanding-the-seasonal-workfor/ See more

02.01.2022 Thanks to everyone who came along to our Farmable Friday beersnburgers and #agtech in the shed event last week. We believe that it is so important for farmers to get involved with AgTech development or we will continue to be sold expensive, out of touch products that dont solve our problems. Thanks Farmable for being committed to working with farmers like us to be the drivers of the future of agriculture #growershelpinggrowers #farmablelife #orchardmanagement
