They came to hear David Yarborough, the blueberry specialist for the UMaine Cooperative Extension, discuss his forecast for this year’s crop and listen to researchers talk about their latest projects.
A marketing consultant for the wild blueberry industry also briefed attendees on its advertising and marketing campaign and how it is making subtle but important changes.
