Chad was introduced by his friend and fellow agriculture expert Britt Dudek and used a comprehensive PowerPoint show to illustrate some of the history and activities of the program, a research extension of WSU. Some of his images are shown below.
The Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center (TFREC or Center) was created over 80 years ago by the Washington State legislature. Although research on tree fruit production problems had been conducted by several researchers from Washington State College and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, no formal research facility existed during the early part of the century. In 1921, a group of growers in Wenatchee began a movement to obtain a tree fruit experiment station; in 1936, the Washington State Horticultural Association formed a committee to lobby the legislature for purchase of a research orchard.
