For 32 years, Graeme McNeill has been more than the Manager of GV Crop Protection in Shepparton — he's been a trusted advisor, a steady hand, and a true friend to the Goulburn Valley farming community.

At Plunkett Orchards, we've been lucky enough to grow alongside Graeme's expertise. His knowledge of crop protection is second to none, but it's his integrity, generosity and genuine care for the growers he works with that have made the biggest impact. He's been a mentor to Andrew, a great friend to Noel and Margaret, and a trusted advisor to our whole team, always ready with sound advice, a straight answer, and a laugh along the way.

Beyond the business, GV Crop Protection, under Graeme's leadership, has generously sponsored thousands of local community events and teams over the years, backing the Goulburn Valley community he's so proud to be part of.

Now Graeme's turning his attention to a new season — one with longer bike rides, more time with family, and the open road ahead. We couldn't be happier for him, and we're excited to welcome a new manager who'll carry GV Crop Protection's legacy of great service forward for the Goulburn Valley community.

Graeme, thank you for 32 years of service, wisdom and friendship. The Goulburn Valley farming industry is better for having had you in it. Enjoy every kilometre of that ride.

We're on the hunt for the next Manager of GV Crop Protection to join a business with a proud history and a bright future. Know someone with the skills and passion for the role? Check out the ad on Seek: https://au.seek.com/job/94495817?tracking=SHR-WEB-SharedJob-anz-1

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Margaret Plunkett, the woman who lived on the orchard her whole life, and shaped Plunkett Orchards into what it is today.

Margaret took the helm of the orchard after the tragic and unexpected loss of her brother, and then her parents soon after. What followed was 50 years of steady, determined leadership, growing the business responsibly and sustainably alongside her husband Noel, whose innovative ideas paired perfectly with Margaret's financial discipline and acumen.

But Margaret was so much more than a businesswoman. She was a pillar of the Ardmona community, active in countless groups over the decades — from Young Farmers in the 1960s to a book club she was part of for 40+ years. Anyone who knew Margaret, through the orchard or otherwise, will remember her genuine interest in people, her warmth, and her open door for a chat over a cup of tea.

Margaret lived by the values passed down from her parents and grandparents: work hard, give back to your community, treat everyone with respect and equality, and be grateful for your opportunities. Those values are woven into everything Plunkett Orchards stands for, and we will carry her memory forward with us.

Margaret's Memorial Service will be held on Monday 24th August. Details here: https://www.merrittfuneralservices.com.au/general-4

Rest peacefully, Margaret. Thank you for everything.

It’s perfect weather for tree planting! Overcast skies and cool days stop the tree roots from drying out before they are planted, and with some rain forecast over the coming days, these pink lady apple trees are set up for a good start. We’ll enjoy watching them grow from our new office building which is currently under construction.

The orchard may be resting, but there's plenty happening. During winter, dormant buds are protected from the cold while trees conserve energy. Every great harvest starts with a season of rest for the trees ❄️🌳
