Record Crop is in

Finally we have the crop under roof and we are very pleased that we have 34% more than the previous record in 2004.
The quality is excellent also.
We have managed to increase harvest tempo considerably too. In 2004 we harvested for 171 days and this year managed to do it in112 days. 51 days quicker!!!
