Overview
Fruit orchards are well established throughout the Chico area, producing stone fruit, citrus, and mixed orchard crops. Areas around Durham and along the valley floor benefit from fertile soils, winter chill accumulation, and spring conditions that support strong bloom and fruit set.
Orchard management emphasizes pruning strategy, irrigation scheduling, pest and disease monitoring, and harvest preparation. Weather variability during bloom and early fruit development makes timely orchard services important for protecting yield and maintaining fruit quality throughout the season.
Agnomy gives Chico and Butte County fruit growers a smarter way to manage and coordinate ag services across orchards, field crops, and mixed operations. Instead of relying on word of mouth or chasing down availability, farmers can request services, compare quotes, and book local providers who understand North State soils, irrigation districts, and seasonal timing. With built-in tools like an integrated calendar, job reporting, and real-time weather and soil insights, growers can track what’s scheduled, what’s been completed, and what’s coming next. By keeping service coordination and field activity in one place, Agnomy helps ensure orchard work, field operations, and harvest support stay aligned as conditions shift throughout the season.
