The Fruit Crops Pathology Extension Program at UW-Madison serves Wisconsin growers, stakeholders, crop consultants, and allied industries by providing disease diagnostics and management solutions for diseases that threaten the productivity, sustainability, and profitability of fruit crops. We deliver educational programming through farm visits, grower meetings, field days, newsletters, social media, fact sheets, and published management guidelines. 

“The University of Wisconsin-Madison occupies Ho-Chunk Land, a place their nation has called Teejop (Day-JOPE) since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. 

This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation. Today, UW-Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin. 

Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration and settlement that bring us together here. And join us in uncovering such truths every day.”
