New York Apple Auction Plan Faces Practical Hurdles
New York apple shippers question a proposed free auction market for state fruit as outlined by Commissioner Dillon. The plan would run October to season end and aim to set a fair price in New York City, but critics warn no state funds exist to cover costs and auctioneers must charge commissions. They note New York fruit already dominates the docks and that many farmers prefer selling locally for top barrel prices rather than auctions.
