External note

I met with James Drew and Gary Rentiera. The said they had an excellent cherry season and it just stopped so fast. They said they didn't have one quality problem including the Rainiers. We discussed the new processing equipment and how its capacity speed has made loading so good. They didn't have late loading or trucks sitting over night as there was in the past. They showed me the plans for the new produce warehouse they are building in Fargo ND.  We discussed all of the competition in some of their markets and how everyone promoted cherries almost every week of the season. We discussed how their structure has develouped and the buying for the divisions.
