LIFE on the BOG
Harvest Complete
Kudos to the amazing CranOps team, along with the mechanics and office staff who support them, for another injury-free and successful harvest season. We wrapped up on Nov. 5 after seven weeks of work. We’re grateful for favorable weather during almost all of the season.
Now it’s time for the work that will ensure a successful crop next year: notably, sanding. With warm weather forecasted, we will be using barges to put a layer of sand on the flooded bogs. This process is a natural way to promote vine growth and protect from pests.
