Apple crop outlook brightens across Crawford and surrounding counties
State growers report 1985 apples better in quality and quantity than last year despite a dry summer. In Crawford County Sunrise Orchard and Fleming Orchards describe crops as a little above average with heavy Delic ious and Cortland yields. Early bloom and warm spring pushed harvest to early October aligning with fall colors and roadside traffic. Weather, including a damaging windstorm, spared most trees and overall yields remain strong across Sacia and Spittler’s 325 acre orchards near Galesville with MacIntosh and Cortland ripening well.
