Stakeholder Survey: Optimizing Fresh-Market Peach Harvesting

We are seeking stakeholders to participate in a voluntary survey for a multi-state USDA project aimed at improving peach harvest efficiency and fruit quality through the use of AI-based harvest prediction tools, mechanization, and extension training.

A diverse group of researchers from the University of Georgia, Clemson University, the University of Maryland, Penn State, the University of Florida, and Colorado State University is developing a multi-state USDA project to enhance peach harvest efficiency and fruit quality through AI-based harvest prediction tools, mechanization, and extension training.

We would like to hear from you about your fresh-mark peach harvesting needs and appreciate your time in completing a brief survey. The survey should take no more than five minutes to complete. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary, and you may choose not to answer any question or stop at any time. No personal identifying information will be collected. The information you provide will be used only in aggregate form to help guide research priorities and strengthen our proposal.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Dr. Angelos Deltsidis (lead PI, University of Georgia) at 352-214-2737 or by email at adeltsidis@uga.edu.

Thank you very much for your time and support.
