Fruit grow ers met on the shores of Seneca Lake in Geneva, N.Y. to talk pits, cast out the stone in "stone fruits,” and make some waves. The eager gathering of 96 parti cipants from across New York, Pennsylvania, and the Niagara Peninsula were attending the first ever New Yoik Stone Fruit School hosted by Cornell University, March 16-17. One of the high lights of the two-day events was the launching of a new growers’ association for stone fruit growers in New York and neighboring slates. The association is as yet unnamed. “The growers are looking for a more consumer-friendly name for their fruits,” said grower Jim Bitt ner. who led the participants in discussing the values they will get from their new association. “Growers feel that stone fruits does not convey to most people what they produce. They arc open to suggestions." The stone fruit industry refers to peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, and sweet and sour cher ries as stone fruits because of their hard pits. But “stone” is counter intuitive to consumers, who are more apt to thing of the fruits as soft, smooth, juicy, and tender. Stone fruits are grown for fresh consumption and processing mar PLAN NOW FOR THIS SEASON’S CROP • Bucket Elevators • Stirring Systems • Utility Augers • Weight-Tronix Feed Mill • Transport Augers Farm Fan ABB Automatic Batch GT Model 370 PTO Grain Dryer Farm Fan ABI2 Automatic Batch ★Full Lin* Part* Dept.* ★Sell, Service & Inetall* “ a Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 13, 1998-A43 UITLITY DOWN TO 11.00.

When ripe, the fruit tends to bruise if shipped long distances, so stone fruits are particularly well-suited for local niche markets and regional consumption said ex tension pomologist Bob Ander sen, who organized this unique school. ‘The highlight for me was that so many growers would come out to learn more about growing stone fruit,” said Bittner, who is the managing partner of Singer Farms in Appleton, N.Y. He farms 500 acres of fruit, half of which is de voted to stone fruits and half of which is devoted to apples. "With the future of apples not as rosy as it was a few years ago, most of us are looking at the possibility of planting some more stone fruit” The reports of large apple plant ings in the Northwest, California, and China have some growers concerned about the future of the New York apple industry. But the fact that consumers are becoming more quality conscious enhances growers’ optimism that there will be an increased demand for local ly produced soft fruits that arc har vested at optimum maturity. Grower Steve Clarke felt an “aura of excitement and opti mism” at the meeting, and came away with this message: “Find the market before you plant the tree.” EAIHB3R • Feed Bins • Wet Tanks • Gram Bins AUTOMATIC BATCH OR CONTINUOUS FLOW GRAIN DRYERS • k r -’ r Rt. 272 South 14 Herrville Road Willow Street, PA 17584 Ph. 717-464-3321 or Toll Free 800-732-0053 Mon.-Frl. 6:30 am to 8 pm Sat. 7:30 am to 6 pm Sun.
