Cherry industry experts discuss the future of the Cherry Capital
TRAVERSE CITY - Cherries are dependent on the weather, and each year the bloom depends on how warm it has been. This year the weather was warm and brought on an early bloom, but it also brings on other issues, including fungus and invasive insects. Farmers are struggling to keep up with the unpredictable weather and the problems it brings each year Nikki Rothwell of Michigan State University Extension says, “I love the whole idea of climate change, but I rather we call it something like climate variability, because I always say if it would change, we can address that through research and and we can make those changes. But this year’s wet, last year was dry. And so these are the things I think growers are going to have to roll with … And I think having a research community behind them I think is really crucial.” The research results are given back to the farmers so they can implement the actions needed. Another thing growers are looking for comes from community by spreading awareness to buy local cherries.
