Non-Technical Summary
Statement of Issues and Justification
Most land grant universities no longer have a critical mass of researchers addressing the regional and national needs for cherry improvement. The cherry industry is important in both Wisconsin and Michigan. Our cherry researchers have expressed an interest in utilizing the multi-state research mechanism to foster greater interaction among their peers. An NCR might be the eventual mechanism, but an NCT would allow the group to determine how best to organize.
