Crop Estimation and Thinning Table

The following pdf table is a "no math" cheat sheet you can bring with you into the field to help you in crop estimation and thinning. To use the chart, all you need to know is how much fruit you remove from 1/100th of an acre and a close approximation of your % final berry weight (or how many days you are from bloom). The table does the rest of the math for you.
Happy estimating!
