The 2014 Grove Census, conducted by Olives New Zealand, is being sent out to participants in November. Of particular interest will be 2014 harvest crop and yield figures, as these will provide data for the Focus Grove Project. The information will also allow for individual grove reports, showing how groves have performed against other years on file, and on a regional and national basis. New members will have the opportunity to have grove data recorded and get a preliminary bench-marking report. A fast completion and return of the census is requested, to facilitate an efficient collation of data and production of individual reports. Any queries and completed census information should be directed to the executive officer, Gayle Sheridan via ph: +64 (0)6 8771 447 or email: admin@olivesnz.org.nz.
