Jeremy Walsh grew up with his feet in the soil and his hands in the vines. He is the third generation raised on his family’s Marlborough vineyard and founder of Jeremy Walsh Viticultural Management (JWVM). Jeremy has real practical experience and truly understands vineyard management.
“Our aim is to provide the absolute best in vineyard management and contracting, working closely with clients to understand their needs, customise their management plans and help them get the most out of their vineyard. The ultimate goal for our clients is always the same; optimise efficiencies, and maximise returns. We work with the latest technology and techniques, ensuring our specialised vineyard machinery is well maintained and upgraded when necessary”
Vine spraying is a core aspect of vineyard management and as with the rest of his business. Jeremy takes no chances when it comes to investing in the right equipment to take care of this crucial task, which is why he maintains a fleet of the latest FMR R-Series Recycling sprayers.
“We believe that these sprayers give superior coverage in a wider range of conditions, with increased efficiency. Most importantly, the spray delivery is protected by the shields, minimising spray drift and we can recycle up to 25% of chemicals through the spray season”.
As with any commercial vineyard operation, efficiency is critical, especially when input costs are rising at an unprecedented rate. This underlines the fact that every operator, tractor and machine team must be carefully selected to ensure operational efficiency without compromising the quality of the result.
“Our FMR R-Series sprayers are able to consistently spray 40-45 hectares per day,” says Jeremy.
Designed with efficiency in mind, the 4000lt tank capacity reduces the number of refilling stops needed and the extended boom system allows the machine to spray three complete rows per pass. These features combined with the R-Series recovery and recycling system make the R-Series an outstanding performer in terms of efficiency.
Jeremy has embraced the latest technological advancements in tractors, machinery and supporting systems, and is putting all of this technology to use in providing the exceptional service that he does. The fact that Jeremy is committed to such a high standard of equipment must reassure JWVM’s many clients that they are working with a true industry professional.
