Growers Plan Shipments as Oregon Prunes Attract Eastern Buyers
Oregon growers announce 30 cars of prunes will ship to the East with 12 tons per car. Eastern Washington and Idaho crop is light, while Oregon’s Italian prunes are praised as superior to California or Washington fruit. Last year Washington and Idaho yielded 1,400 tons of green prunes. Oregon members estimate 80 cars can be harvested without reducing dried fruit output. Local mining activity includes options being sought on Southern Oregon fields and the diamond drill being introduced at several properties near Grants Pass.
