\u201cEn HOEEP aprend\u00ed conocer un \u00e1rbol desde las c\u00e9lulas\u201d.<\/em><\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

En diciembre de 2025, durante la reuni\u00f3n anual de la Asociaci\u00f3n de \u00c1rboles Frutales del Estado de Washington celebrada en Wenatchee, conversamos con Apolinar, un conductor de tractor con licencia CDL en Roylance Sprayer. Actualmente cursa el cuarto nivel del programa de educaci\u00f3n para empleados hispanos de huertos frutales (HOEEP) del Wenatchee Valley College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conociendo a Apolinar Quiroz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo empez\u00f3 a trabajar en la agricultura aqu\u00ed?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llegu\u00e9 a EE. UU. en 2007. Trabaj\u00e9 en las cherries<\/em> y nectarinas. En 2009 conoc\u00ed un gerente del huerto Blue Bird. \u00c9l me vio con ganas de superar y me mand\u00f3 a las clases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En HOEEP aprend\u00ed todo lo que necesitaba saber sobre mi trabajo. All\u00ed aprend\u00ed a conocer un \u00e1rbol desde las c\u00e9lulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 papel desea a realizar en el futuro?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me inspira hacer m\u00e1s. Deseo ser manager<\/em> de huerto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 opinas de toda la tecnolog\u00eda que se est\u00e1 incorporando a la agricultura \u00faltimamente?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La tecnolog\u00eda es buena, pero se requiere de m\u00e1s capacitaci\u00f3n. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt HOEEP, I learned how to understand a tree starting at\u00a0the cellular level.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Apolinar lives in Othello, Washington, and is a CDL tractor driver for Roylance Spraying. He is entering the fourth level of the Wenatchee Valley College Hispanic Orchard Employee Education Program (HOEEP). We spoke with him at the Washington State Tree Fruit Association\u2019s annual meeting in December 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to know Apolinar Quiroz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How did you start working in agriculture?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived in the U.S. in 2007 and worked with cherries and nectarines. In 2009, I met a manager from Blue Bird Orchards. He saw that I was eager to learn and sent me to the classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HOEEP, I learned everything I needed to know to do my job. I learned about trees from the cellular level on up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What role do you want to play in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am motivated to do more. I want to be an orchard manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think about all the technology in agriculture these days?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology is good, but it requires a lot more training. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
