Pruning continues as crews work to prevent Canker disease while peach buds near the pink stage.

Marketing peaches trend favors direct sales to consumers
McPherson notes rising costs in labor boxes and transport over four to five years and says about one third of his peach crop is sold directly from the farm with another 10 to 15 percent at roadside stands.
