What is the harvest process?
Growers should meet with their Mission Field Rep prior to the start of the season to establish a general plan for harvesting based on market conditions, competition and conditions in the grove. Steady communication between the grower and Mission is necessary to determine if the plan is on course or if current market conditions warrant a change. At the start of the harvest process, your Mission Rep will walk your grove to assess your crop and income potential. Mission will help set up picking crews and harvest dates. Some ranches have their own picking crews and will pay them directly. However if a crew is needed, Mission will contract a crew for you and pay them from your proceeds based upon an agreed price.
