So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Getting Your Vineyard Equipment Ready Before The Fall Harvest

By Dennis Felton


Places like California, New Zealand, and Southern Australia are some examples where growing vineyard is ideal. The main reason is quite simple: their climate is temperate; meaning, the temperature in these areas are not too hot or too cold, which is suitable for vineyard.

If you are based in one of the specified locations mentioned above, you might want to consider growing a vineyard in your area and make it as an additional source of income -- that is, if you like farming. And, of course, just like any other projects, getting into vineyard involves a number of important considerations to take into account to have better chances for success.

In this article, however, I am to discuss specifically about preparing your vineyard equipment before the fall harvest. This can help to make your harvesting work more efficient while trying to reduce the costs.

So, how should you prepare your vineyard equipment before the fall harvest? Here are some insights you might find useful:

Build your checklist - when it comes to vineyard, you need not only one but multiple equipment. Therefore, noting down your listing can be a very great help to make sure that all the needed tools (as stated in your list) are there.

Gather the equipment on time (if not earlier) - see to it that all the equipment you need for harvesting come on time in your area -- whether you buy or just rent. The very reason for this is to avoid any delay in the harvesting works that can potentially affect negatively your produce as a whole. Please note that we have what we call "harvest-delay-effect" where it highlights the significance of picking on time (as scheduled) to deliver the expected results and the target time it should be delivered.

Check all equipment are in good working condition - see to it that all your needed equipment are checked ahead of time to ensure that what you've got are functioning well; when you have your equipment with you earlier, you have ample time to make adjustment in case some of them have defects - they can be replaced accordingly without worrying about time constraints.

Equipment should be cleaned and sanitized - as the work involves harvesting for consumption, cleaning and sanitizing your vineyard equipment is absolutely necessary. It is important that cleaning and disinfecting is part of your process to avoid possible contamination. Here's additional insight on vineyard equipment sanitation.

You and your employees should know how to run them - sure you are already familiar with vineyard equipment; in fact, you might have been using them for years. However, there might be some equipment that require your testing most especially the new ones so that you and your employees become familiar with them. Being familiar with the equipment you use helps avoid unnecessary delay, which can affect your overall productions.

The success of your vineyard business lies on your skills in farming and the proper use of equipment to achieve your vineyard optimum potentials
