Apple-Crop: New variety article

2008-06-25 Thread Con.Traas
Hello Jon,
That is a nice piece of work. It is important to be consumer (rather
than customer) orientated, and this is a lesson for more than the people
who sell direct to the consumer.

Hello everyone, we have just web-published a study on Consumer  
Evaluation of New, Antique, and Little Know Apple Varieties.

http://www.umass.edu/fruitadvisor/variety/

Many of you who sell direct-market will be interested in the results.

RE: Apple-Crop: Hail in the Great Lakes area

2008-06-25 Thread Kathryn Carter
Parts of Southwestern Ontario were hit with both frost damage and a series
of hail storms.  Some orchards in Norfolk county received considerable hail
damage, while others received only trace amounts.  Hail damage (varying
degrees) has also been reported in other parts of Ontario including the
London area, Hamilton, Niagara and even near the Georgian Bay.  I think we
have seen enough crazy weather for this year!

Greetings,

Just saw a report on hail in the Great Lakes Area. Could any of our friends
update us as to how bad it was ? 

Hopefully the orchards were spared
