Pa Apple Crop Down About Twenty Five Percent Expected
Pennsylvania Crop Reporting Service forecasts about 58 million bushels of apples to be produced this summer and fall, down from 75 million last year. Peach crop remains strong at 29 million bushels, pears about 100 000, with York Stayman and Red Delicious showing poor set while minor varieties remain robust. Moisture is high aiding sizing but causing some scab and pest issues.
