From planting to harvest: the art of forecasting
In Stoll Frères' 15 hectares of greenhouses, tomato and eggplant production is anything but haphazard. Rigorous monitoring allows for harvest planning from the moment of planting and refinement of forecasts throughout the season. Combining the expertise of the teams with artificial intelligence, everything is done to ensure smooth logistics and optimal flavor.
The open-field vegetable growing season has begun.
After two weeks of heavy rain, which delayed work in the fields, the tractors were finally able to get to work. Our teams prepared the land that had lain fallow all winter and planted the first crops. An important step, recounted here by two key players in this endeavor.

A field transformed into a migratory stopover for thousands of birds
Five hectares of our fields are currently flooded to provide a resting place for migratory birds. The voluntary flooding began on August 1st in partnership with the Association Escales Limicoles – Agriculture and will continue until October 30th. Located in Yverdon-les-Bains, the site, which is the subject of an agreement between the parties, currently welcomes numerous winged travelers en route from Scandinavia and Siberia to their winter quarters.
The quality of vegetables is also affected by infrastructure
Variety selection, irrigation, light, nutrients, harvest time, storage... These and many other factors influence the quality and flavor of vegetables. In the background, infrastructure maintenance is crucial: for ideal conditions to be met day after day, everything has to work.
