Happy New Year! Here's the best of the last: the best read articles from 2022

Almost everybody knows the feeling of somebody telling you that you will fail and then succeeding after all. Feels pretty good, right? Well, that might be why our best-read article of 2022 was about that.

Hans Kik decided to grow high-wire in a greenhouse in 1978 with then 'progressive' plant height of 3 meters. "We did a trial in 2013. Everyone said: 'That's not really possible, high-wire cultivation in such a low greenhouse.' Yet we did it successfully for years."

Traditionally among our best-read articles are bankruptcies, unfortunately. This year many articles on growers having to stop their business because of the energy prices made it into the top. Then there are expansion plans, acquisitions, grower stories, and, well, have a look yourself.
