Early California grape crop outlook from 1936 estimates
The California Crop Reporting service projects raisin vineyards at about 87 percent of full crop and table and wine grapes at 89 percent. If verified, raisin output could exceed 1935 and be about 20 percent higher than 1936, while table and wine yields may match 1935 and run 14 percent above 1936. Water should be plentiful and fruit maturation favorable.
