Terry County Watermelon Harvest Reaches Northeast Markets
Terry County watermelons produced by Randy Simpson and Ronald Luker of T&S Produce face a smaller size this year due to drought but remain sweet and saleable. The duo, with about 700 acres under 10 growers, ship to Wisconsin and Chicago while planning late September pumpkin crops. They expect near ten million pounds, with most melons moving to the northeast rather than local stores.
