Q&A sessions at this week’s National Olive Industry Conference covered a multitude of hot topics and grower concerns, including discussion about the biosecurity risks involved with dirty fruit bins and harvesting equipment. It’s a timely reminder that farm biosecurity is more than just monitoring and treating pests diseases, it’s also about the people, vehicles and equipment involved in your farm operations.
Remember: if it can move, it can carry diseases, pests and weeds.
There’s great info on essential biosecurity practices for your grove on the Farm Biosecurity website here.
