Apple Growers Face Shortage of Harvest Help in Vermont
Vermont apple growers face a shortage of pickers as hail-damaged crops threaten this fall. Bennington and Southern Vermont Orchards face labor and grading challenges, with Meyer counting on 50 to 60 pickers including a new Maryland migrant crew. He expects revenue around 30,000 from a 56,000 investment, while damaged fruit sells for juice at about 40 cents a box, 30 cents for harvesting. He plans heavy advertising to attract self-pickers and relies on local help amid a reportedly looser harvest-wage market compared with New York’s Hudson Valley.
