The harvest is a defining phase in the production process. Quality, volume, labor, and planning all converge here. This is precisely why proper organization of the harvesting process can make a significant difference. Michels Mushroom Support helps mushroom farms critically evaluate and purposefully improve their harvest.

Ron Michels analyzes how the harvest proceeds in practice. He examines the product, the picking method, the organization on the work floor, and the deployment of personnel. The balance between quality, production, and labor costs always remains central.

Attention to both people and product

Proper picking techniques have a direct influence on the quality and shelf life of mushrooms. At the same time, the way the work is organized largely determines how many pounds an employee can harvest.

Michels Mushroom Support provides advice on, among other things:

• picking technique

• quality of the harvested product

• grading

• picking performance

• labor organization

• personnel deployment

• routing and work methods

• harvest planning

• the relationship between quality, volume, and labor costs

By examining the entire process, bottlenecks quickly come to light.

Practical improvements on the work floor

Harvesting advice is not limited to figures and analyses. Ron works closely with the actual operations and discusses improvements with the people performing the work. Sometimes, small changes in work methods, planning, or organization already yield a clear difference. The goal always remains the same: harvesting high-quality mushrooms with the most efficient use of labor possible.
