Isaac Pollard, Jr

07/11/1830 - 11/25/1916



1917 honoree


Raised in Vermont, Isaac Pollard worked to identify pines and spruces that would survive the prairie climate. Additionally, he planted apple, pear, peach, and cherry orchards, which provided a broad knowledge base regarding what fruit tress to plant in Nebraska. When his apple orchards began fruiting, Pollard asked the university to analyze and compare his apples to eastern raised apples. Every apple grower owes a debt to Mr. Pollard for helping put Nebraska apples on par with the New York apple
