HORT ATTRACTING AG GRADUATES
Vee Jay's Kalfresh newest recruit, Junior Agronomist, Maggie Read is on the committee for the upcoming Future Horticulture Leaders Forum in Toowoomba this October.

We're proud to be an event sponsor and to have team members like Maggie willing to contribute to the industry's future leadership both on and off the farm.

Maggie joined us this year fresh from the University of New England, with a dual Bachelor of Business (Agribusiness) and Bachelor of Agriculture. Her path into the ag industry started early.

"I grew up on a cattle station just outside Proserpine, so I always saw myself working in agriculture," she says.

"And I'm having a great time and really like the versatility in horticulture compared to cattle."

Spoken like a future hort leader!

Tickets for the forum are on sale now, check out the two-day program and get involved today 👇

MEET LOCAL RECRUIT ASHLEIGH
At Vee Jay's we like to keep things in the family.

Ashleigh Boyce recently joined our team - he’s the second generation of the Boyce family to work with our Bowen farming team.

Ashleigh graduated from our local Bowen State High School and soon stepped into one of our rigs. It’s a job he knows well, his dad Mick has worked with the Jurgens family for many years.

Ashleigh knew the basics after years shadowing Mick and he has mastered the ins and outs of the farm work quickly.

"We're here to look after the crops and we have some big days behind the wheel. I love working with heavy machinery and I'm keen to get more tickets and expand my skills."

CROP UPDATE WITH MELITA
In Greek the word ‘Melita’ means small and sweet!
So it was the perfect name for our seedless mini melon variety, which are grown by VJK farmer Melita Jurgens.

Here she is checking a block that has about four weeks to go but the change of seasons is upon us here in Bowen ... things are warming up so we will be busy harvesting ruby red, deliciously ripe mini melons this weekend to kick-start the Spring season.

Look out for these in stores. Perfectly portioned to eat in one sitting = no waste 🍉 🍉🍉

MEET SOME OF OUR BABY CAPS TEAM
** Francis, Sonya, Tania, Una and Darren **

We’re halfway through the Bowen baby capsicum season and the fruit is looking great. Did you know that we hand-harvest each plant multiple times as the fruit ripens?

It’s a lot of work but it means we only send fruit to stores when it’s ready to eat.

Baby capsicums are sweeter than large capsicums and that’s down to the variety we grow and the fact that we grow ours out in the field.

North Queensland’s mild winters provide overnight temps above 16 degrees which is exactly what these plants need to flower, mature and colour up. It’s the magic of farming up here.

Add in our healthy soils and ripening on-the-vine and you get nutrient-dense, flavour-packed snacking capsicums in vibrant colours of red, orange and yellow.

Perfect for lunchboxes, pizzas, platters, salads and stir-fries.

JOBS FOR LOCALS - MEET GUS
Our North Qld team is growing and we're currently looking for an experienced 🚜 Spray Rig Operator, 📊 Finance & Payroll Officer and 🚛 MC Truck Driver.

Coming on board this season was Bowen-local Maintenance Fitter Gus Hedges.

Gus' first job was to travel to our Kalbar HQ at Kalfresh to help dismantle and relocate an optical TOMRA grading machine (pictured) for our green bean season. Pulling it apart, transporting it north and reassembling was no small feat.

Our green bean harvest is now at full steam, so the TOMRA has been very busy, just like Gus.

"Variety is what I like most and I am doing everything,” Gus said.

“On any day, I could be putting in pumps, doing fabrication work or installing conveyor belts.”

MEET OUR NEW AGRONOMIST 🌱
Our newest team member has swapped the lab for the paddock and is loving it.

With a Bachelor's in Agronomy and a Master's in Ag Biotechnology, Saeid came to Australia from Iran in 2019 to complete a PhD in molecular breeding and biotechnology.

After years of research work with CSIRO, Saeid wanted to see his work come to life faster.

"Working in research can mean spending years studying one thing before getting an outcome, but when working on a farm, you can see your output in the same year."

You'll now find Saeid keeping a close eye on our sweet corn, green beans and other crops on our Bowen and Ayr farms.
