Diane Miller at OSU Hort dept  has a project looking at the marketability
of disease resistant cultivars.  You might check with OSU Extension or her
directly to get more info on William's Pride.  I know growers in zone 4 of
MN and WI who grow it and like.  Also good for organically managed systems.
