OSF presents the Farm of the Future
MOSES LAKE – Okanagan Specialty Fruit hosted their Farm of the Future event on April 30 to showcase the recent developments in the farming industry and their vision on what the future of farming will be in the coming years. “As you try to think of ways to solve today’s challenges and with the background I have in terms of tech is how we go about doing that,” said Okanagan Specialty Fruits Co-Founder and CEO Neal Carter. “A big problem is our orchards are very expensive to produce, capital intensive to plant, to train structures, and we can just simplify the whole system, make it less capital intensive, make it less capital intensive, make it more pedestrian, labor friendly.” Seminars were held at Big Bend Community College where speakers from businesses and local leaders spoke about exactly how they plan to solve these issues with innovations for the farm of the future and how they plan to better recruit, train and equip the workforce for the future, said Sarah Evanega, Vice President of Business Development at OSF.
