An earth-bound olive harvester that might be used on oranges and a flying octocopter were among the sights harvesters and growers witnessed at last week’s Mechanical Harvesting Field Day at Immokalee.
Fritz Roka of the University of Florida talks about the machines and their possible uses in the first two reports.
In the third report, Roka addresses questions that were posed at the field day about mechanical harvesting impacts on tree health.
