Eastern West Virginia orchards face a picker shortage this year creating chances for part time farmers in other counties to earn good wages. West Virginia University extension supervisor Benjamin Creech notes the apple season runs roughly September 15 to November 1 and estimates eastern panhandle orchards need about 400 emergency workers for the harvest. Sufficient emergency labor has not yet been obtained to pick the peach crop, but a labor shortfall remains for the larger apple crop.
