#Almondharvest2024 is just around the corner, but when should shaking begin? Harvesting early has many benefits including reduced insect infestation and more time to complete the task. Shaking too green, however, can result in increased foreign material (adhering hull) at the processor and longer drying times. Test shaking (and eventual shaking) should occur when almonds in the interior of the tree have all progressed through the first stages of hull-split. Since this timing will vary by orchard, hull-split progression should be monitored within every orchard block. More on this here: https://lnkd.in/d6dCHray
