Industry Cannot be
Paralyzed by Fear


I have thoroughly enjoyed your publication since I started receiving it several months ago. I find it to be very informative and timely.

As incoming chairman of the Washington Apple Commission and a trustee of USApple, I took a special interest in your fine editorial in the March issue.

Needless to say, those of us on the USApple board couldn’t be more pleased with your analysis and the perfect analogy of “finding the cheese.” I only hope others in the Michigan apple community agree with your view.

There has never been a more important time for national unity among apple growers. We cannot let fear paralyze us or lead us toward short-sighted decisions. Your leadership and insight is greatly appreciated.
