Commercial Apple Crop Likely Higher This Year
Chicago reports based on hundreds of special notes to The Packer indicate a larger than last season apple yield, probably above the five year average but below the 1931 bumper. Factors include spring rains causing scab and fungus damage, though moth damage is down. Thinning and size gains offset losses, with export prospects modest and Canada and England likely to export more.
