bad luck about the manzanillos-I remember in your postings that the
previous season was very long and hot (for you) and this year not so. In
the hunter some growers are biting the bullet and ripping them out.
Blocks of frantoio next to manzanillo, frantoio gave oil and manzanillo
gave water and took time and money.

With regards to Landline, its a pity that efforts to correct a known
situation happen only after public exposure. On the ABC radio the other
day an unnamed olive grower rang in and voiced his fury as to the damage
to consumer confidence these practices could inflict. Obviously there
are some people out there that have invested heavily and to whom quality
is an issue and see this type of publicity as being harmful.
