Summary: Our objectives are to teach growers, fieldmen, and lenders how to use TEAM to assess economic impact of technology costs and adoption. We are targeting the following topics: wage inflation, orchard establishment sensitivities, establishment time span, yields, packouts and production sensitivities (profit maximization versus cost minimization). Participants in the program will learn how to calculate return on investment (ROI) for specific orchard technologies and practices and the relative impacts of ROI.
