Finding balance in one’s vineyard is the ultimate priority for any farmer. Given the current circumstances pertaining to a shortage of labor (as well the rising cost in labor), grape growers are now able to crop adjust utilizing variable rate. Understanding the condition and growth stages of the vines is extremely important. This is where newfound technology such as the “NDVI sensors” come into place. We can now scan any vineyard with high tech cameras to pinpoint a pattern in canopy growth and then crop adjust accordingly. Here, you are able to see our machine variable rate shoot thinning like never before.
