Yup Yup the farm My father worked on was small in the grand scheme of America Orchardist standards however, during the time, spraying was its peak. The man he worked for ended up with horrible skin cancer they never did determine if it was all the spray he was exsposed to or the sun. A few years ago my father also had a small patch of the stuff. Again they would not say what caused it. I am not quick to judge. I find it funny that MOST of the things we spray for make our apples ugly not inedible. There are a FEW things that we actually spray for that are related to tree healthy and production that would just stop us completely from producing enough apples from trees to make it worth while to grow them but besides a few parasites and those few other diseases most of it is eww thats not pretty. Bruising during picking makes more apples inedible than the ugliness. Which is more irritating than any other problem I have seen and that is more maddening than any other problem. Miss handled fruit or produce pisses me off in the market place which makes me a pretty difficult customer to please when shopping.
