Please join us at 5:30 p.m. on August 25, 2021, at Apple Ridge Farm (Wayne Pace’s) for an update on apple production practices. Our team of specialists from NC State University will be on hand to give updates related to preparing your orchard for the best chance of a good crop in 2022 after the challenging season this year. The light crop has implications on tree management and Drs. Sara Villani, Tom Kon, and Jim Walgenbach will be on hand in addition to Ms. Elena Rogers and Mr. Wayne Mitchem.

Following the meeting, we ask you to join us for a sponsored meal at the Dana Community Center just right up the road. Several sponsors have made this meeting possible and most of them will be on hand for brief comments.

Please RSVP at your earliest convenience to Keai or Melena at 828-697-4891 or email Keai at kmtilly@ncsu.edu. We hope to see you there for this collection of specialists that support the apple industry throughout the year.
