Pioneering Orchardist Unveils Plan to Revitalize Ailing Apple Industry
OSF Whitepaper CoverOSF Presentation TitleOSF Whitepaper-OrchardNeal Carter unveils bold plan to transform apple farming with genome editing, AI & robotics to cut costs, boost sustainability & ensure industry viability.Escalating labor costs are the primary challenge to the continued viability of the U.S. apple industry. A radical transformation is essential for the industry’s survival.”— Neal Carter, CEO and Co-FounderMOSES LAKE, WA, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Washington State orchardist Neal Carter, co-founder of Okanagan Specialty Fruits (OSF) and creator of the world’s first nonbrowning apple, recently unveiled a bold plan to revitalize the U.S. apple industry through the integration of genome editing, robotics and artificial intelligence.
Carter outlined his vision in a white paper, “Traits and Tech: Designing the Orchard of the Future,” which was recently released during an open house at the company’s orchards and Moses Lake processing facility. As part of the full-day event, OSF also showcased its high-speed fruit slicing and packing operations, offered live demonstrations of AI and autonomous orchard tools and hosted two expert symposiums on agricultural innovation at Big Bend Community College.
“Escalating labor costs are the primary challenge to the continued viability of the U.S. apple industry,” said Carter, noting that labor now represents more than 60% of total production costs. “A radical transformation is essential for the industry’s survival.”
Carter, who pioneered the use of biotechnology in orchard crops, now wants to use genome editing to fundamentally change apple tree architecture. He has proposed altering apple’s germplasm so that it produces its fruit at a single height, facilitating the nearly full automation of apple production and harvesting through robotics and AI.
“These changes will significantly reduce production costs, support sustainable agricultural practices and ensure the industry’s continued economic viability,” Carter said. Projected savings of $8,000 to $10,000 per acre could be realized over current production costs of $14,000 to $16,000 per acre.
“Though the apple industry has continuously adapted over the past 40 years by adopting new horticultural approaches, such as increasing the density of tree plantings, employing various trellis structures, developing new dwarfing rootstocks it has maximized its ability to change the system through physical tools,” Carter said. “Some of these practices are now actually working to exacerbate the challenges that are pushing smaller operations into the red.”
“Improved genetics represent the industry’s only real option to implement a market-disrupting, game-changing system that can effectively reduce the high labor demands that are economically unsustainable,” Carter said.
OSF has already demonstrated its biotechnology expertise by breeding a nonbrowning trait—achieved by silencing a gene that directs the oxidative browning process—into six varieties of Arctic® apples. OSF is among just a few companies globally with a bioengineered food product on the market. It is continuing to build on that innovation and expand its product line by using genome editing to add important traits like disease tolerance to its Arctic varieties.
Carter’s vision for the farm of the future has global implications and is applicable to pears and other orchard crops. “Orchardists everywhere are facing similar challenges that demand bold and timely solutions,” he said.
Carter, who has been described as a “disruptor” in the apple industry, was among the first to prioritize sustainability by introducing state of the art agronomic practices to his orchards, including data driven automated drip irrigation and overhead cooling systems use. He is also an early implementer of precision ag equipment to monitor and provide management data for all climatic, soil, pest and disease conditions, increasing on-farm efficiencies.
His vision for the farm of the future builds upon OSF’s mission of using science and technology to reduce emissions and food waste, achieve greater operational efficiencies and expand consumer access to fresh fruit.

Z UE na pomoc Ukrainie trafiło 148 mld euro. Potrzebne jest dalsze wsparcie, także w kontekście wypracowania sprawiedliwego pokoju
Prezydent Rosji Władimir Putin ogłosił gotowość do podjęcia bezpośrednich rozmów pokojowych z Ukrainą, które mają się rozpocząć 15 maja w Stambule. USA i UE liczą, że Rosja zgodzi się na 30-dniowe zawieszenie broni i wstrzyma ataki na infrastrukturę krytyczną. Unia już zapowiedziała, że w przypadku odmowy zaostrzy sankcje. Europoseł PiS Arkadiusz Mularczyk apeluje o większą determinację UE w wykorzystaniu zamrożonych rosyjskich aktywów i wsparcie w odbudowie Ukrainy.

Prof. L. Balcerowicz: Polska obok Turcji ma największy udział własności państwowej. Potrzebujemy odpolitycznienia gospodarki
Nacjonalizacja i repolonizacja polskiej gospodarki zapowiedziana przez Donalda Tuska wzbudziła mieszane komentarze i reakcje, głównie z powodu niedoprecyzowania, jakie działania miałaby oznaczać. Zdaniem prof. Leszka Balcerowicza to „mętny slogan”, za którym może się kryć wiele znaczeń, takich jak ograniczenie wpływu kapitału zagranicznego albo nacjonalizacja. Tymczasem tym, co naprawdę potrzebne jest gospodarce, jest wycofanie się z niej polityków i prywatyzacja spółek, których wciąż zbyt wiele znajduje się w gestii rządzących – ocenia ekonomista.

Trwa operacja zmiany wyposażenia indywidualnego żołnierzy. Potrzebny modułowy system „od stóp do głów”
Według zapowiedzi MON ten rok ma być przełomowy pod względem zmiany wyposażenia indywidualnego polskich żołnierzy. To efekt trwającej od 1,5 roku operacji Szpej, której celem jest modernizacja umundurowania oraz uzbrojenia i której rząd nadał wysoki priorytet. Podczas ubiegłotygodniowego forum Defence24 Days dwie polskie firmy przedstawiły swoją propozycję systemu wyposażenia „od stóp do głów” dla żołnierzy, którego zaletą ma być nie tylko kompleksowość, ale także modułowość i możliwość dostosowania do konkretnych potrzeb danego operatora.
