RE: AG History 1992

Joe-yes,I find it very interesting too.You are the second one that has expressed a comment.I find most growers don't care a bit about the past,just looking to next years dreams.Maybe that is normal but I will still through in some history from time to time.--AE
 
PS--there is another view of AG history,on here from time to time,that comes from your state.That is a "special version",if you get my drift??

Al,
Thanks for AG history lesson! I really enjoy looking back like that and seeing who was growing at that time and what the top ten weights were. You're right, the progress since that time is unbelievable.

Fellow Fanatics-I was looking over some old notes and found a 1992 list of
the top Canada-USA AGs that I made to try to make some sense out of various
information and claims from the fall of that year..This is the first list
that I know of that brings together the results from all major sites and
organizations existing in 1992.

The first file shows the list of 71 fruit and the second file shows the 7
that have provided genes that survive to the present era,95% confidence
level.

These 7 special fruit were grown by 6 growers,5 of them were still growing
and had good results in 2001.The other,Lorraine Orr,has "retired".

The 7 were grown in WA,MA,Quebec and OR.

Those new to the hobby/sport/addiction as well as those longer term growers
may enjoy seeing what the AG weights,people and sites looked like 9 years
ago.It is amazing to see the progress over that time.
