    CA Almonds on the Verge of Losing Their Place in the Global Market

    California almonds, among other tree nuts and agricultural products have been struggling to make their way across the sea to consumers around the world.  Organizations such as the Almond Board of California have worked hard and invested a lot to open global markets and pave the way for California almonds to reach grocery stores worldwide, and all of this is at stake now if we can’t get our product beyond our western ports.  Watch this brief interview with Aubrey Bettencourt, President of the Almond Alliance of California as she details the problem and what they are doing to make a difference.  Read more about it in the June issue of Pacific Nut Producer Magazine.

  • Oregon Hazelnut Grower Shares Experience with Mechanized Pruning

    Oregon Hazelnut Grower Shares Experience with Mechanized Pruning

    Due to increasing labor costs and shortages in recent years, many painstaking tasks on the farm are now being mechanized, and Pacific Northwest hazelnut growers are beginning to see mechanical pruning as a more reliable and economical alternative to traditional hand-pruning. But when is an appropriate time to begin this practice for those who have just recently planted new orchards? Watch this brief interview with Kevin Coleman from KCK Farms as he shares his experience adopting the practice.  Read more about orchard mechanization in Pacific Nut Producer Magazine. If you’re not currently receiving the print publication, subscribe for free at: https://malcolmmedia.com/subscribe/

    Many tree nut growers are aware of the pistachio industry’s investment and government support of sterile insect technique as another tool to suppress navel orangeworm populations in the orchard, but recognize that the research takes time and money. So how far have we come and does the technique still have promise for combatting the tree nut industry’s number one insect pest? Watch this brief video to find out, featuring Ted Sheely, a cotton and pistachio grower who has been following this program long before it was used for navel orangeworm.

  • Almond Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations Following Whole Orchard Recycling

    Almond Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations Following Whole Orchard Recycling

  • New Strain of Eastern Filbert Blight Concerns the Hazelnut Industry

    New Strain of Eastern Filbert Blight Concerns the Hazelnut Industry

    Eastern Filbert Blight has historically been a curse to the Pacific Northwest hazelnut industry, that is, until Oregon State University released several blight-resistant varieties.

But is it really? Watch this brief interview with Shawn Mehlenbacher from the Hazelnut Breeding Program at Oregon State University as he shares concern for another strain of Eastern Filbert Blight that the OSU varieties have not been strong enough to combat.  Read more in Pacific Nut Producer Magazine. If you’re not currently receiving the print publication, subscribe for free at: https://malcolmmedia.com/subscribe/
