In Georgia the Elberta crop yields were poor despite high early prices. Trade editor George D. Lowe highlights precooling as a profitable investment, citing Pine Mountain Fruit Company’s 12 ton plant at Bullochville and New York merchants backing enhanced storage. If built in Americus, Albany, Marshallville, Montezuma, Fort Valley, Reynolds, Barnesville, Forsyth, Marietta, Rome, Dalton, Adairsville, and others, precooling could boost peach value, extend marketing life, and support year round demand.
