On April 4, USApple hosted a Weather Webinar featuring Drew Lerner, who has been forecasting international weather for agriculture for 44 years. He shared predictions for potential weather events and trends from spring bloom into the summer that could impact 2024 apple production. We had record attendance with close to 500 registered for the live event or who watched the replay.
On May 14, Chris Gerlach, USApple’s Director of Industry Analytics, presented the revised and final USDA production data from the 2023/24 season and looked ahead to the coming 2024-25 harvest. The webinar took a deep dive into the recent trends in U.S. apple storages, movement, trade, prices, and more. This webinar also saw great attendance and participation.
