Factsheet Publication:
To support the upcoming sessions and the harvest season overall, I’ve put together a “Canopy Management” factsheet series. While the in-field sessions will offer hands-on learning, these factsheets provide growers with practical, printable resources to keep on hand.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
