Working with TomatoesNZ

Working with TomatoesNZ

Re-joining as a co-opted Board Member

 

It is my pleasure to announce I will be re-joining the TomatoesNZ Board as a co-opted Board Member.  I believe it presents a fantastic opportunity for me and will have benefits for covered crop growers, which include the tomato growers I consult to.  It provides another link between the board and growers.  I will be able to give first-hand information, of the many projects that TomatoesNZ is engaged with and take back, to the board, grower requests and questions.

Along with Grower2Grower I believe this will enhance the pathway for information flow directly to the growers.  It really makes sense as this is the main aim of the Grower2Grower website.

I look forward to re-joining the board and helping enhance this part of the industry, of which I have been apart of for over half of my life.  I would like to personally thank the board for this opportunity.   I look forward to catching up with you all at the next meeting.

 

I appreciate your comments.  Please feel free to comment below or on the grower2grower Facebook page:

Best of 2025 – Strawberry New Zealand Conference Review
How to reduce heat from your structures during the warmer months. High temperatures can dramatically affect a strawberry plant’s ability to set fruit and maintain fruit size. The longer you can reduce the negative impact of heat stress, the longer you can sustain consistent production, quality, and shelf life.
