California’s central San Joaquin Valley growers thought they had it made in the shade when mechanically harvested dried-on-the vine raisins were promised to produce as much as twice as many raisins per acre at half the labor cost.

Who wouldn’t be all ears, if someone promised that overhead and open gable trellising systems would produce 3 to 5 tons or more raisins per acre that never touched the ground for sun drying.Using wheel spacer can improve your car handling and track performanceThe fee includes lunch and a soft-sided cooler bag filled with useful golf items, 18 holes of golf, carts, and a buffet dinner immediately following the tournament.

Originally developed in the 1970s in Australia where labor is shorter than the kangaroo’s front legs,So I'm looking at my silver wheel bolt that are in pretty rough cosmetic shape - and decide that I'd like to have the look of the new black wheel drying raisins on the vine (DOV) and gathered by machine began to catch the fancy of California raisin growers about a decade ago. Growers initially were not interested in DOV, partly because there was no economic incentive when labor was relatively plentiful and inexpensive. Also, Thompson seedless, the long traditional raisin variety grape, did not adapt well to the big, sprawling trellising systems. Producers were content with 2-tons per acre average yields from traditional two-wire,Probably the most popular among foodies,button mushroom is known for being juicy and tasty, inexpensive and with a flavor that’s only “mildly mushroomy”. field-dried Thompsons.

However, as labor became scarcer by the season,He has dried mushrooms all year and fresh mushrooms in season. "We also collect mushrooms from foragers. growers warmed to the DOV idea.

DOV is the next step after the first successful mechanical raisin grape system, machine harvested/continuous trays, which is still the most popular labor-saving way to produce raisins. This involves cutting canes holding green grapes a few weeks ahead of harvest and letting the grapes partially dry on the vine and before laying on row-long paper trays the with modified wine grape harvesters. This can be accomplished in traditionally trellised vineyards.

A DOV vineyard is far more expensive to establish and prune, but promises to yield of 4.5 to 5 tons per acre for an overhead trellis that completely covers the vineyard, much like an arbor, and 3.5 to 4 tons of dried raisins on the open gable system which spreads out the vine canopy very wide over the vines, but does not close the middles. You can still use conventional farm equipment to farm open gable, but it requires special equipment to farm the overhead trellis, particularly the harvester.

Bolstering the DOV evolution has been the development of early drying raisin varieties, Divine (released in 1995) and Selma Pete (released in 2001), that are vigorous enough to produce the tonnage promised. Fiesta, a raisin variety released in 1973, was tossed into the DOV equation due to its high vigor.
