Hi Alan
Sounds like you have a good project going there. We would be interested to hear more about it if you care to share. Hope that it works out for you and the growers you are working with. Education for these people has to help and if you can f…
Thanks for the explanation, it is much appreciated. It is great to see this sort of ingenuity being displayed and shared.
Lol - I can tell you the result of that study right now (not pretty at all).
Sadly we are not currently in production, so even we don't have any Tava bars at the moment :-(
Hi HC. That is really interesting. Can you tell us more about your roaster?
Hi Jesse
Welcome to the group. I would be interested to hear any comments you have on your experience of restoring your plantation. There are a lot of abandoned trees in the South Pacific, so rehabilitation is an interesting topic for us and grower…

Sorry for the late response, I was in the Dominican Republic and just got back yesterday. As far as pests, I personally don't have that problem with our farms or other farms that we work with. There are a few factors that help us:
1) Weather, no extreme changes in temprature
2) Not planting trees on an even land, instead we plant them on a hillside.
3) Plant other trees to act as shades.
4) Keep the ground very clean
thanks,
Vaagn

I'm using the latest Mac version of QB (I've read the PC version is much better but don't feel like installing VM-ware to run windows) and it feels under-developed and poorly executed. For most of the tasks QB requires me to take a non-intuitive approach to manage them. For example there should only be one method to add expenses: Add and expense assign it to an account - done till reconciled. QB currently makes me add cash or check payments in one section and credit cards in another, To me that's inefficient for me time wise and it's inefficient programming on QB's part. i have a vague object model in my head and see 2 classes preforming the same function. Granted my O.O. is rusty but hopefully you get the picture.
