Anyone out there had any experience(positive or negative) using Amid
Thin(NAD) at petal fall to help thin Gala prior to 8MM (using 6-ba
then)? Mature trees, heavy bloom.

Apple Croppers- Jon and I do try to keep a pretty hands off approach
with regard to moderating this list.
We have only had to remove one person from the list in 24 years.
That being said, if you don't agree with someones post, there is the
delete key. There is never a reason to get personal with another
subscriber on our list.
I know many on this list may not always agree, but that is not
unusual. We still share information.
Certainly most of you that know Jon Clements and I, know we often do
not see eye to eye, but we do many great things together in spite of
that :-)
This apple-crop list lasting 24 years is a tribute to that.
If someone has a real beef with a post or a person, please share you
comment with Jon and I privately, as owners of the list. Otherwise hit
delete, we do not want to be moderators.
Best,
Win

Yea, we try to be pretty hands-off with apple-crop, and I have gotten
a little lost in the thread this afternoon, but please let's not let
this get out of hand. Last thing I want to be is a moderator...
Thanks.

Hello Fellow Horticulturalists and Farmers,
I debated whether I should opine or not…there seems to be so
little tolerance these days for alternative view points. Yet, to
suggest that politics don’t influence our businesses and farms
would be not only a mistake but also a disservice to our goal of
helping and supporting one another who grow apples. What I can
share with you with confidence as a full time family farm owner
in New Jersey is that farming under the Obama administration was
more difficult, more costly, and much more challenging than any
other time in my 35 years of farming. I have seen a steady
increase in the direct costs associated with regulatory
compliance as well as the amount of management time that I and
my team spend simply making sure that our business can
operate….none of which helps us grow a better apple for our
customers. We are only 10 days into the new administration and
I can tell you that I look forward to the opportunity to advance
our family business to the next generation in an environment
that once again values and rewards the entrepreneur, hard work,
rural values, and the risk that we all take each year as
farmers. I also look forward to a positive business
environment that will allow us to expand our farm, purchase and
preserve more farmland, employ more people, and stimulate the
local economy.
Simply stated….I am very excited!
Best wishes for a successful growing season and may God Bless
the United States of America.

The intended effect was to promote the idea that the right
wing extremist Donald Trump was trying to suppress
opposition voices. Contrast this to the fact that for years
the fascist left has threatened any scientist that questions
global warming. The death penalty has been called for many
times. By the way, the idea: “97% of scientists agree…” is
just more fake news.

Since journalists are among the most dishonest human beings
on earth, we probably should all just stop paying attention
to the news, and let the new administration get on with the
important business of making America great again. No offense
Con, but America first!
But if you’re not inclined to stop paying attention, it
turns out the USDA kerfuffle came about from an internal
decision, not the White House. It strikes me as typical of
ARS culture.
