    July is NUTS for California almond growers. With questionable weather, pest pressures, and market conditions converging, here are some quick thoughts: 1) Heat Wave - After a solid week of temperatures over 100°F, it looks like growers and their crops will get some reprieve this weekend. Most orchards seem to be handling the heat better than they did during the sustained heatwave in 2022. This improvement could be due to lower salt load following a couple of good leaching winters or the cooling off at night. Ironically, this timing aligns well with recommended timing for regulated deficit irrigation, where we intentionally stress trees as a best practice for hull rot protection and prompt harvest. 2) Hull Split - The industry standard treatment for Navel Orange Worm (NOW) is an insecticide application at 1-5% hull split. Split looks much more uniform than last year, and the Semios hull split prediction model is looking pretty spot on to me. I'm pushing to complete applications by the beginning of next week at the latest for Nonpareil and self-pollinating varieties. So far, NOW pressure seems manageable, although I suspect flight time is potentially being suppressed by the heat. I anticipate a spike in trap catches this weekend with cooler weather and split almonds. Given last year's heavy pressure, growers and PCAs are being aggressive with proactive treatment—fingers crossed. 3) Objective Estimate - The USDA released the objective estimate today, and it's smaller than expected. The forecast for 2024 almond production is 2.80 billion meat pounds, up 13% from last year but reflecting a decrease from May's subjective forecast. Most striking to me is the increased nut set and decreased kernel mass. The average nut set per tree increased by 3% compared to 2023, while the average kernel weight decreased by 4%. I believe that this is related to minimal fertilization, and if economic conditions were better for growers, this could have been a record-breaking crop. Remember, this estimate does not take into account dropped nuts. Overall, I feel this estimate is positive for market conditions. It's a stressful time of year for all of the industry. As my father would say, "Growing almonds is like having a baby, and we're in the final trimester." I'm optimistic for the finish of the 2024 season and hopeful that better times are ahead for CA growers. Let's get after it!

    Timing Matters! ⏳ Hull split timing can vary widely across a property, sometimes by as much as seven days from one block to another. With significant variations in hull split timing between and within varieties, managing harvest logistics can be challenging. That’s why we release our hull split forecasts every year— to provide our users with a greater sense of control and command over what lies ahead of them. Now, Semios customers can access the information on the go from their phones via the Hub mobile app. Download on the App Store: https://apple.co/3WbbV1n?
