Same with labor in my area (northeast Connecticut). A young couple leased a large local orchard about 5 years ago that was semi-abandoned... They've done a real good job getting back into shape -- although they still only prune about 1/2 the trees each year.

Back when I was in High School, before it was semi-abandoned (they sold fruit...but didn't do any maintenance/upkeep) the owners brought in Jamaicans to pick the apples.
