Sustainable Orchard Management taught by CALS prof Greg Peck (@DoctorApples) is 1 of 16 courses – from fruit physiology to winemaking – that brings students to the Cornell Orchards, a 22-acre farm that hosts active research on apples, grapes, & more. cals.cornell.edu/news/2024/1…

That stinks: @BigRedFoodSci researchers are working with wineries, manufacturers and NY state to eliminate the rotten-egg smell in some canned wines by subtly altering the product’s formulation and packaging. @ASEVtweets @CornellCALS news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

@DoctorApples and his lab at Cornell report that reducing the crop load on hard cider apple trees minimizes biennial bearing (a large crop one year and then little to no crop the next) and increases profitability.

An estimated 70 million apple trees are planted on @CornellAgriTech’s Geneva rootstocks around the world – and that number is likely to grow with the release of three new rootstocks — Geneva 257, Geneva 484 and Geneva 66. @CornellCALS news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

Opinion: Based on the fruit offerings in the dining halls, one wouldn't guess that Cornell has a world-class agriculture program. Aurora Weirens '25 calls for that to change.

Johnny Appleseed was actually a man named John Chapman, born in 1774 in Massachusetts. Rather than roaming the land scattering apple seeds, as the story goes, Johnny instead planted apple tree nurseries. He introduced apple trees to large parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and present-day Ontario. Nearby farmers would tend the nurseries and Johnny returned every year or two to check on his trees. Appleseed accrued much land in his life and it’s estimated that he left an estate of more than 1,200 acres to his sister when he died.
We love celebrating this American legend!
