Cavendish Farms’ Annual Growers’ Field Day

The Cavendish Farms’ annual Growers’ Field Day was held in New Annan, Prince Edward Island on September 16. It’s an opportunity to share the positive results and knowledge collected from the various research projects Cavendish Farms conducted over the past few years.  

The event was an exciting opportunity for growers, researchers, industry, and community partners. Over 200 participants were led through a series of stations, each with their own research trials. 

“The field demonstrations showcase the knowledge that Cavendish Farms builds throughout the year and passes on to our growers. They, in turn, go back to their farms and adapt and incorporate that knowledge,” said Jubs Bristow, Vice President, Agriculture Projects. “We give them the information they need to help improve quality and their yield.”

“Growers are interested in current topics like new variety development, drone technology, pollinators, enhanced storage practices, and precision agriculture,” said Newton Yorinori, Vice President, Agriculture Research and Development. “We share the information we have to help growers be as successful as possible.”

Along with the growers and guests, J.D. Irving, Limited was also well represented at the annual Growers’ Field Day. Many employees from Cavendish Farms and Cavendish Agri Services participated to help make the day a success.
