ʻO ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i ka ʻāpala aupuni i ka makahiki i hala, he moʻolelo hoʻokahi, e like me ka US Apple Association.
Ma Michigan, ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa ka makahiki ikaika i nā kumukūʻai no kekahi mau ʻano a alakaʻi i ka lohi i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea kanu.
Manaʻolana ʻo Emma Grant, ka mea nāna e hoʻokele Cherry Bay Orchards ma Suttons Bay, e hoʻoponopono ʻia kekahi o kēia mau pilikia i kēia kau.
"ʻAʻole mākou i hoʻohana i kēia ma mua," wahi āna, me ka wehe ʻana i kahi bākeke wai keʻokeʻo mānoanoa. "Akā, ʻoiai ua nui aʻe nā ʻāpala ma Michigan a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa o ka poʻe packer e ʻohi ai, ua hoʻoholo mākou e hoʻāʻo."
ʻO ka wai he amea hoʻoponopono ulu; ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia a me kāna mau hoa hana i ka concentrate ma ka hui ʻana me ka wai a me ka pipi ʻana i kahi wahi liʻiliʻi o nā lāʻau ʻāpala me Premier Honeycrisp.
"I kēia manawa ke kāpī nei mākou i kēia mea me ka manaʻolana e hoʻopaneʻe i ka oʻo ʻana o ka Premier Honeycrisp [apple]," wahi a Grant. "Huli lākou i ka ʻulaʻula ma luna o ka lāʻau, a i ka pau ʻana o kā mākou ʻohi ʻana i nā ʻōlaʻi ʻē aʻe a ʻohi iā lākou, aia nō lākou i ka pae oʻo no ka mālama ʻana."
Manaʻolana mākou e ʻulaʻula kēia mau ʻāpala mua me ka ʻole o ka pala. Hāʻawi kēia iā lākou i kahi manawa kūpono e hōʻiliʻili ʻia, mālama ʻia, hoʻopaʻa ʻia a kūʻai aku i nā mea kūʻai aku.
Manaʻo ʻia ka ʻohi ʻana i kēia makahiki, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka makahiki i hala. Eia naʻe, ʻōlelo ka poʻe noiʻi he mea maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana i kēia hana i ʻekolu mau makahiki i ka lālani.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Chris Gerlach, ʻo ia kekahi no ka mea ke kanu nei mākou i nā kumulāʻau ʻāpala a puni ka ʻāina.
"Ua kanu mākou ma kahi o 30,35,000 ʻeka o nā ʻāpala i nā makahiki ʻelima i hala," wahi a Gerlach, ka mea nāna e hahai i ka loiloi mai ka Apple Association of America, ka hui kālepa ʻoihana ʻāpala.
“ʻAʻole ʻoe e kanu i ka ʻāpala ma luna o ka lāʻau ʻāpala a kou kupuna kāne," wahi a Gerlach. "ʻAʻole ʻoe e kanu i nā kumulāʻau he 400 i ka ʻeka me kahi puʻu nui, a pono ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ka manawa a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka ʻoki ʻana a i ʻole ka ʻohi ʻana i nā kumulāʻau."
Ke neʻe nei ka hapa nui o nā mea hana i nā ʻōnaehana kiʻekiʻe. Ua like kēia mau lāʻau lattice me nā paia o nā hua.
Hoʻonui lākou i nā ʻōleʻa ma kahi liʻiliʻi a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka ʻohi ʻana iā lākou-he mea pono e hana ʻia e ka lima inā kūʻai hou ʻia nā ʻōlaʻa. Eia kekahi, e like me Gerlach, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hua ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gerlach ua loaʻa i kekahi mau mea ulu i nā poho no ka mea ʻo ka hōʻiliʻili 2023 hōʻiliʻili i alakaʻi i nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa no kekahi mau ʻano.
“ʻO ka maʻamau i ka hopena o ke kau, e loaʻa i kēia mau mea kanu ʻāpala i ka leka uila. I kēia makahiki, nui ka poʻe mahiʻai i loaʻa nā bila ma ka leka uila no ka mea ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kā lākou ʻāpala ma mua o ke kumukūʻai o ka lawelawe.
Ma waho aʻe o nā koina hana kiʻekiʻe a me nā kumukūʻai ʻē aʻe e like me ka wahie, pono e uku nā mea hana no ka mālama ʻana, ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā ʻāpala a me nā haʻawina kōmike no nā mea kūʻai aku ʻoihana.
"ʻO ka mea maʻamau i ka hopena o ke kau, e lawe ka poʻe mea kanu ʻāpala i ke kumukūʻai kūʻai aku o nā ʻōlaʻi e hoʻemi i ke kumukūʻai o ia mau lawelawe a laila loaʻa iā ia kahi leka ma ka leka," wahi a Gerlach. "I kēia makahiki, nui nā mea ulu i loaʻa nā bila ma ka leka uila no ka mea ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kā lākou mau ʻāpala ma mua o ke kumukūʻai o ka lawelawe."
ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻomau ʻia kēia, ʻoi aku hoʻi no nā mea kanu liʻiliʻi a me nā mea kanu-ʻo nā mea kanu hoʻokahi nona nā māla ʻai ma ka ʻākau o Michigan.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gerlach, ke hoʻohui nei nā mea hana apple US a ʻike i nā hoʻopukapuka hou aʻe mai ke kaulike pilikino a me nā kālā waiwai o nā aupuni ʻē. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hoʻomau wale ʻia ke ʻano i ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai hana, e paʻakikī ai ka loaʻa kālā mai ka hua wale nō.
"He nui ka hoʻokūkū no nā hua waina, clementines, avocados a me nā huahana ʻē aʻe ma nā papa i kēia lā," wahi āna. "Ke kamaʻilio nei kekahi poʻe e pili ana i ka mea e pono ai mākou e hana no ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā ʻāpala ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana, ʻaʻole wale ʻo Honeycrisp versus Red Delicious, akā ʻo nā ʻapala me nā huahana ʻē aʻe."
Eia nō naʻe, ʻōlelo ʻo Gerlach e ʻike nā mea kanu i kahi hōʻoluʻolu i kēia kau ulu. Ke hoʻomaka nei kēia makahiki e lilo i mea nui no Apple, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻōpala ma mua o ka makahiki i hala.
Ma Suttons Bay, ua loaʻa ka hopena i makemake ʻia e kahi mea hoʻoponopono ulu lāʻau a Emma Grant i hoʻolele ʻia ma mua o hoʻokahi mahina i hala: ua hāʻawi i kekahi mau ʻāpala i ka manawa hou e ʻulaʻula me ka ʻole o ka pala. ʻO ka ʻulaʻula o ka ʻāpala, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea hoʻopili.
I kēia manawa, ʻōlelo ʻo ia e kali ʻo ia a ʻike inā kōkua ka mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe hoʻokahi i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻāpala ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana a kūʻai ʻia.
