Saturday, September 6, 2025 was a hand-picking day in four of our blocks in Eagle Point, Oregon, and at dawn a Pellenc harvester worked the rows.
Three loads
The weight certificates list three loads from the day, about 9.2 tons in all:
Blocks 1A and 2A, Pommard: 3.66 tons
Block 1B, Dijon 115: 2.27 tons
Block 2B, Dijon 777: 3.30 tons
Our videos from 6:31 to 6:50 a.m. show the orange Pellenc Optimum straddling a row with its headlights on. Later in the clip, its conveyor pours fruit into a white bin.
Rain
Light rain fell at the Medford airport on and off from September 8 to 14. On September 11 I wrote that the weather was making our harvest logistics difficult.
On September 24 we hand picked 2.67 tons of Block 1A Pommard.
