Part of the Getting into the Weeds: Farming in a Tight Year webinar series, join Perennia’s Vegetable Specialist, Tim Morcom, for the upcoming session Optimizing On-Farm Efficiency – Labour, Time and Equipment. 


Session Description

In this session, the team will discuss how producers have improved their on-farm efficiency and profitability with a focus on ‘systems’ thinking. We will understand how these inefficiencies were addressed through equipment and production improvements with a discussion on measuring production targets, so you know if you’re moving in the right direction. 


Guest Speaker

Angus Ells: Angus is an influential farmer in Annapolis Valley, using cutting-edge technology to operate a successful and profitable farming enterprise growing various horticultural crops. His focus on optimization and technology has set him apart from other farmers.

Melvins (Vitabite): The Melvins operate a successful horticultural operation, focusing mainly on brassicas. They pride themselves on the high quality of their produce and have made a name across the Maritimes for quality and innovation. They have invested in optimizing their equipment and labour practices, which have dramatically improved their product quality and farm profitability.
