The apple season is underway, and we want to hear from you, Washington apple growers and marketers, about your expectations for this year’s crop. Your contributions will help inform our special coverage of the Washington apple deal in The Packer’s Sept. 13 issue.

How have high temperatures affected quality, size and volume? What proprietary varieties are you most excited about? What’s the biggest challenge for your crop this year — and the biggest opportunity? And what about all of those Cosmic Crisps?

Give us your insights on these topics and more by taking The Packer’s Washington apple survey; the deadline is Aug. 20.

For questions about the survey, contact Tom Karst at news@thepacker.com.
