The program features many tree fruit experts from
Washington and across the country, some of whom will
appear via video.
"We want to bring the best speakers in the world for a
specifi c topic, and if they can't travel, we still want to hear
the message they have to tell," Hoheisel said. "So we're
going to use technology to get that information."
In a departure from the usual meeting format, a visit
to two nearby orchards will be offered at the conclusion
of the cherry session on December 2. Growers can travel
on the buses that will be provided or carpool.
In the Spanish language session, there'll be two-hour
tractor safety workshops in addition to the usual educa-
tional program. Participants will receive certifi cates from
the Washington State Department of Labor and Indus-
tries for completing the training. Advance registration is
required for the safety workshop. (Advance registration is
not required for the Spanish session.)
