A buyers' panel emphasized a strong consumer pressure for high quality "Massachusetts grown." Representing cranberries, grower John C. Decas talked of the industry's healthy growth and the need for high quality fresh fruit. On the buyers' panel, Joseph Novellilce, vice president of Bay State Produce Co., brokers for Ocean Spray, noted the "strong demand for our agricultural products." The Cran berry Connection set up a decorative booth at the trade show and presented recipes for combining cranberries with locally grown products.

The automatic sprinkling systems give good coverage for continued protection of the buds that are coming along about two weeks early. Precipitation totaled 4.08 inches for the month of April. The average is 5.55 inches for April, so precipitation is low for the month, but the year to date is 50.46 inches, well above the average of 36.08.

March came up with a 64 degree high and a low of 32. There have been some damaging winds, but the cranberry bogs have not had winter problems, other than heavy water in some areas. A.Y.S. NOVA SCOTIA Our precipitation in March of 123.2 mm. was considerably above the 50 year average of 84.5 mm. Most of this precipitation occurred as rain, consequently our snow was nearly gone by April 5. Our hours of sunshine during March was below average. At this point, it appears that our small fruits overwintered well. 1.V.H. Keep Up With the Industry Read CRANBERRIES CRANBERRIES _ EDUCATION OF CITIZENRY ON AGRICULTURE VITAL On March 8 at the Agriculture Trade Show, a first step was taken in educating the public on the importance of agriculture in Massachusetts. The State House was an appropriate place to start, with many officials, including the Governor, there to show support. The next step is educating our fellow citizens on the importance of agriculture in our state. The average person has no idea of the extent of this growing industry. Case in point were two citizens at a Rochester selectman's meeting trying to convince the town that the reclaiming of a cranberry bog, which they abutted, would lead to erosion and flooding of their property. They did not win their case because growers. issue. of informed officials. R.S. Dhillon John M.Lawlor, Manager Can we continue to take the Richland Farms Ltd.

On the buyers' panel, Joseph Novellilce, vice president of Bay State Produce Co., brokers for Ocean Spray, noted the "strong demand for our agricultural products." The Cran berry Connection set up a decorative booth at the trade show and presented recipes for combining cranberries with locally grown products.

They developed a bench top sorter to test their design and demonstrated that there isgood potential for their design. Because cranberries that were available for use in evaluating the WISCONSIN CRANBERRY sorter in late May were relatively soft, WI UI n l nn only a general indication of its performance could be obtained. The HEADQUARTERS FOR color sorting worked well but was COL not tested at high speeds. The vibratory sorting was able to separate relatively soft berries from very soft SEVIN X LR berries.

A low of 29 degrees came on the 13th and 14th. Bog lows ranged from 24 degrees on the 13th, 27 degrees on the 4th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 28 degrees on the 5th, 16th, 17th, 29 degrees on the 6th, 30 degrees on the 25th. The automatic sprinkling systems give good coverage for continued protection of the buds that are coming along about two weeks early. Precipitation totaled 4.08 inches for the month of April. The average is 5.55 inches for April, so precipitation is low for the month, but the year to date is 50.46 inches, well above the average of 36.08. The first quarter of 1983 continued the heavy precipitation of 1982. January had 17.30 inches, February 15.53 and March 13.55. The average for those months are: January, 12.30; February, 9.45; arch, 8.78. It has been a very mild winter. The January high was 60 degrees, low, 28 degrees. February high was 59, low, 31. March came up with a 64 degree high and a low of 32. There have been some damaging winds, but the cranberry bogs have not had winter problems, other than heavy water in some areas. A.Y.S. NOVA SCOTIA Our precipitation in March of 123.2 mm. was considerably above the 50 year average of 84.5 mm. Most of this precipitation occurred as rain, consequently our snow was nearly gone by April 5. Our hours of sunshine during March was below average. At this point, it appears that our small fruits overwintered well. 1.V.H. Keep Up With the Industry Read CRANBERRIES CRANBERRIES _ EDUCATION OF CITIZENRY ON AGRICULTURE VITAL On March 8 at the Agriculture Trade Show, a first step was taken in educating the public on the importance of agriculture in Massachusetts. The State House was an appropriate place to start, with many officials, including the Governor, there to show support. The next step is educating our fellow citizens on the importance of agriculture in our state. The average person has no idea of the extent of this growing industry. Case in point were two citizens at a Rochester selectman's meeting trying to convince the town that the reclaiming of a cranberry bog, which they abutted, would lead to erosion and flooding of their property. They did not win their case because growers. issue. of informed officials. R.S. Dhillon John M.Lawlor, Manager Can we continue to take the Richland Farms Ltd.
