Some of the links are a bit of a dead end. I simply wanted to locate the most recent Cornell guidelines for commercial fruit production, which UMass mostly copies and tends to make more free access to.
The guidelines don’t change much in a period of 5 years. I used to purchase a new book every year but there is no value in that for me.
