It’s a busy time for the Mid-Columbia tree-fruit industry, with OSU Extension’s annual Cherry Day set for Wednesday in The Dalles followed by the Winter Horticultural Meeting on Thursday in Hood River.  OSU Extension’s Ashley Thompson says they will discuss a variety of topics at the meeting, including entomology, horticulture, legislative updates, and technology.  Both meetings carry with them two pesticide credits for producers if they stay for the whole session.  Cherry Day begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center, and the Winter Horticultural meeting starts Thursday morning at 8 a.m. at the Best Western Hood River Inn.
