TO: NE-183 TECHNICAL COMMITTEE COOPERATORS
The following is a draft agenda for the NE-183 Technical Committee Meeting
to be held at Penn State University, Fruit Research and Extension Center,
Biglerville, PA November 5-7th.
Please review. If you have corrections, revision, additions or deletions,
please advise me and I'll update prior to the meeting as appropriate.
You will note toward the end of the agenda under “Item 13 - State Reports”
that I have proposed that we discuss the the 1995 planting (and 1999 planting
if necessary) by cultivar name rather than alphabetically by State. I believe
that this will help to focus the discussion on each cultivar in order to
obtain a clear sense of the attributes and long-term potential of each of
the cultivars under test. In the past we have discussed reports by state.
What are your thoughts on this approach? Please let me know if you approve/disapprove
of this change since it would alter the concluding discussions of the meetings
compared with past years.
Thanks.
John A.Cline
