Recent and Near-future Climate Trends Important to Tree Fruit Production in the Northeastern U.S.
The intention of this document is to combine recent published research with selected graphics and text into a comprehensive, yet concise and accessible overview of recent climate trends and projections for the next 30-40 years.
Self Study Checklist
This document is a checklist of possible climate and weather-related challenges, and some opportunities that may increase over the next 30 years, with actions tree fruit growers can take to reduce risk or maximize opportunity. It is designed to be useful for growers at different scales and markets (wholesale, retail, pick-your-own, organic, IPM, etc.), but of course not every possible solution will be suitable for every operation. This guide was designed to be inclusive so as not to exclude ideas that may be useful, even if only to a few growers.
