At the recent winter conference of the International Fruit Tree As-sociation (IFTA) in Rochester, NY Jon Clements was presented with the IFTA Industry Service Award by Andre Tougas.
"Jon’s passion is in tree fruit horticulture and digital communication & technology and where the two topics intersect. It would take too much time to list all the ways Jon has reached and helped growers in New England, the USA and across the world. My father and I have traveled across the country and the world with Jon to see cutting-edge orchards and we consider him the best of friends - despite the two of them arguing like an old married couple. It’s my honor to present you with this award- Thank you Jon all you have done for our industry, congratulations- cheers!" -Andre Tougas
