Independence AgTech Meetup

Hello AgTechies!

Spring seems to finally be upon us -- we hope it's treating everyone well.

We're excited to announce our next Independence AgTech Meetup, this time discussing one of Oregon's fastest-growing crops: hazelnuts.

With 50,000 acres of newly-planted, blight-resistant hazelnuts now under drip irrigation in the Willamette Valley for the first time, will the technology of sensors, modeling, and analytics transform how growers optimize irrigation, quality, and yield? A 3-person panel will explore the potential of new technology to transform hazelnut research and orchard management, across our industry's diverse sites and soils: Nik Wiman, OSU hazelnut extension specialist, Dennis Carlson, irrigation manager for AgriCare, and Alan Campbell, president of SmartOrchards and Smarter.Ag.

Where: Indy Commons 278 S Main Street, Independence, OR 97351

When: Thursday, April 4th, 5:30-7:30 (or whenever the last person leaves)

As always, we welcome RSVPs on the Meetup page.

Food and beverage provided.

We hope you can join us!
