Hello Bill,
With the retirement of Bill Shane there is a gap in coverage for tree fruit in Southwest Michigan. A small fruit report for Southwest Michigan was published on July 24: https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/southwest-michigan-small-fruit-update-july-24-2024
Reports continue to be published that include (or focus on) tree fruit for West Central MI, Southeast MI, Northwest MI, and Grand Rapids in addition to the statewide grape report and the Southwest small fruit report. There is also an apple harvest prediction report up for Southwest Michigan: https://www.canr.msu.edu/resources/2024-predicted-apple-harvest-dates-southwest-michigan-region
