In February we were pleased to host a visit from the entire sales team from Haynes Agricultural Ltd.  We lined up most of our tractors and equipment to give them a feel for the type of machinery required on today's fruit farms. and gave them an explanation of the growing cycle and cultural practices on our farm.  Carol Penny can be seen demonstrating the use of powered pruners on established pear trees, and Robert can be seen discussing the very tight clearances in the pear orchards, justifying the purchase of our latest T4.95 Narrow tractor for spraying duties.  Other machines on demonstration included our Carraro V70 on pulverising duties, and another New Holland compact tractor with herbicide sprayer working in 2-row bed systems.  The visit was organised by Jeremy Cloude, the Haynes Fruit & Vineyard Machinery Specialist.
