[Apple-Crop] Cosmic Crisp

[maurice tougas]

My understanding is that Cosmic Crisp will be an open variety in seven
years.

 Numbers we were quoted for "all in" establishment costs per acre was
$60,000 on a large planting. No land acquisition costs. Land prep, trees,
support, tractors, irrigation, machinery buildings and housing for H2A
labor included. I do not know if overhead towards packing facility was
factored in.
