Young Growers Alliance Visit a Success

The Young Growers Alliance's visit to the Appalachian Fruit Research Station (AFRS) was a huge success. There were over 40 young or new growers who were able to learn about the large diversity of research aimed at improving US agriculture at AFRS. This included the development of new rotating trellises for blackberries, but also improved breeding practices for specific tree architectures.
