John,
Two years ago I did an experiment where I did apply Amid-Thin at
petal fall alone or followed by BA to Gala. Amid-Thin was used at a
rate of 8 oz/100 gal. The Amid-Thin alone spray thinned modestly (not
enough) but followed by BA the thinning was acceptable. The best
thinning result was obtained when carbaryl was applied at petal fall
followed by a 10 mm spray of carbaryl plus BA.
Regards,
Duane

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

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.
