Hello
I have a request to make of commercial orchard people in the
northeast US and Canada - areas of eastern NY, NE, Quebec.
I am looking for feedback regarding pruning contractors you have
hired recently to conduct all or supplementary dormant pruning in
your orchards.
I am looking to put together a listing of such firms or individuals
(I suspect a slim listing) that I will make available to individuals
upon request (as I have requests for such just about every year, and
the requests come from my own and nearby areas).
Aside from just providing a listing, I would like to also have some
feedback regarding your satisfaction: the quality and detail to the
job done, timeliness, something of the scope of the work done, cost,
and importantly, if you would have the contractor back (because of
choice - not lack of alternatives).
I will take replies off-line if you will - and I will keep what I
assemble generic as to source.
I simply want to have a reference that has considerably more weight
to it than say a yellow pages listing.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Regards, Kevin Iungerman
