Peach Packing In Taylor County Sees Half Normal Crop
In Taylor County the 1956 peach crop is expected to reach only about 50 percent of normal. The Pebble Packing House near the town processes the crop, with growers like Walter Wainwright and W. J. Butler reporting variable yields. Rain improved fruit size in some orchards, and growers anticipate prices from 3.50 to 4.50 per half bushel as harvesting continues across several nearby orchards with thousands of trees involved.
