2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
The issues we need to resolve 
• Deteriorating canopy volume (reduced production) 
• Ongoing soil erosion 
• How to maintain productivity in an ageing orchard 
• How best to sell the farm within 10 years
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
Our 10 year objectives 
• Maintain/increase productivity 
• Reduce soil erosion 
• Reduce costs 
• Sell farm by 2021
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
The steps towards achieving our plan 
• Create cash flow to determine economic viability of tree 
removal 
• Determine ability to cash flow the transition 
• Commence program to remove every other row over 5 year 
period
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
Cash flow - income 
• Calculate NIS production by block 
• Estimate kg/tree by block for each year 
• Increment kg/tree by 20% p.a. over 5 years to minimum 80% 
of original yield after each row is removed 
• Assume conservative $/kg NIS price 
• Calculate NIS revenue p.a.
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
Cash flow - expenditure 
• Calculate all estimated costs, by category, p.a. 
• Adjust chemical, fuel and oil, and labour costs as program 
proceeds 
• Adjust fertiliser costs (per tree) as canopy volume increases
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
Cash flow – outcomes 
• Will vary - need to be conservative 
• Cash flow will deteriorate during the tree removal phase but 
will continually improve as the orchard recovers 
• We have planned for this to take five years for each block
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
Our tree removal program 
• S & G Agricultural Contractors (Simon Richens) 
• Apply ethephon at appropriate time to enable early nut drop 
and early harvest completion in selected blocks 
• Book contractor as early as possible after final harvest pickup 
• Second mulch to reduce high incidence of large debris 
• Re-shape inter-rows if necessary 
• Apply kaolin clay product (eg. SurroundTM) - sunburn 
• Plant smothergrass and establish inter-row groundcover

• Breakdown and spread mulch prior to next harvest
2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by 
The planned outcome by 2021 
• > 1,300 trees 
• > 5 tonnes per hectare 
• Costs reduced by about 35% 
• A great looking and saleable property!

  • 3. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by An overview of what we purchased • Purchased with 2,777 trees (now > 26 years old) • Total orchard area 7.2 hectares • 7m x 3.5m spacing (closed canopy) • Steepish blocks creating significant water wash (soil erosion) • Largely krasnozem soil
  • 4. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by
  • 5. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Our challenges to date • Improve and maintain soil/tree health • Design and implement water management plan • Ongoing pest management • Quality improvement • Complete top-working trial • Trial different canopy management techniques
  • 6. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Our results to date • Fully paid for drying shed investment through improved NIS quality • Consistently achieved > 3.5 tonnes per hectare 0.00 1.75 3.50 5.25 7.00 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 NIS tonnes/ha
  • 7. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by The issues we need to resolve • Deteriorating canopy volume (reduced production) • Ongoing soil erosion • How to maintain productivity in an ageing orchard • How best to sell the farm within 10 years
  • 8. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Our 10 year objectives • Maintain/increase productivity • Reduce soil erosion • Reduce costs • Sell farm by 2021
  • 9. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by The steps towards achieving our plan • Create cash flow to determine economic viability of tree removal • Determine ability to cash flow the transition • Commence program to remove every other row over 5 year period
  • 10. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Cash flow - income • Calculate NIS production by block • Estimate kg/tree by block for each year • Increment kg/tree by 20% p.a. over 5 years to minimum 80% of original yield after each row is removed • Assume conservative $/kg NIS price • Calculate NIS revenue p.a.
  • 11. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Cash flow - expenditure • Calculate all estimated costs, by category, p.a. • Adjust chemical, fuel and oil, and labour costs as program proceeds • Adjust fertiliser costs (per tree) as canopy volume increases
  • 12. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Cash flow – outcomes • Will vary - need to be conservative • Cash flow will deteriorate during the tree removal phase but will continually improve as the orchard recovers • We have planned for this to take five years for each block
  • 13. 2014 AMS 40th Anniversary Industry Conference proudly presented by Our tree removal program • S & G Agricultural Contractors (Simon Richens) • Apply ethephon at appropriate time to enable early nut drop and early harvest completion in selected blocks • Book contractor as early as possible after final harvest pickup • Second mulch to reduce high incidence of large debris • Re-shape inter-rows if necessary • Apply kaolin clay product (eg. SurroundTM) - sunburn • Plant smothergrass and establish inter-row groundcover
