Like so many wonderful products, the care, attention to detail and hard work that goes into creating them is far from obvious. Hats off to the many hard working w**e grape growers of the Riverland who've just finished harvesting this year's crop. Thanks to Riverland W**e for this original post. It's a pleasure to serve horticultural industries of this region.

When we're enjoying a glass of Riverland W**e it's easy to think it appeared like magic!
But, behind the scenes there's a lot of hard work, monitoring and technology that goes into creating the perfect drop.

Love this shot by Earthwise Services, this time working at an Apricot Orchard in Loxton.

Could thinking like a farmer help you with COVID19?

Farmers (a.k.a. growers, horticulturalists, primary producers) deal with this kind of crisis all the time. Success in their livelihood depends upon it. The majority have suffered through crushing income losses too and know there’s hope beyond.

Farmers cop it from so many fronts. Gall wasps, fruit fly, mildew, mealy bugs, canker, aphids, botrytis and phylloxera, - and these are only a few of the pests and diseases that impact horticulture that come to mind. Thinking about weather: drought, frost, hail, harvest time rain, wind and heat. Then we have external challenges such as changing commodity prices, machinery maintenance, freight logistics, contract negotiations and bureaucratic demands. I conclude that many farmers could see this COVID19 pandemic as just another pest to manage. What can we learn from their perspective?
