Virginia Department of Agriculture says this will be an especially good year for larger peach growers to target size and quality. With good set and no frost damage, peaches are abundant. Virginia estimates 1,900,000 bushels as of June 1, about 5 percent above last year, while the nine Southern states are 42 percent higher overall. Hog prices may rise modestly by month’s end, with a see-saw market and short supply lifting averages in the next two to three weeks.
