Why Crop Estimation Matters
Accurately estimating your crop yield early in the season is a critical skill for any grape grower. A good estimate allows you to:
Plan for Harvest: Knowing your expected yield helps you prepare labor, equipment, and processing facilities for a smooth harvest.
Optimize Fruit Quality: Early insights into crop size allow you to adjust management practices to optimize fruit quality and sugar levels.
Make Informed Decisions: Accurate yield estimates support informed decisions about fruit sales, pricing strategies, and winery production plans.
