Apple Country boom in southern Illinois apple crop
The Chicago Chronicle reports a surge in southern Illinois apple production led by Clay and Flora regions. A million barrels of apples, 40 000 acres under cultivation, and 2 000 000 trees drive a growing industry with new evaporators, cold storage, and large buyers purchasing tens of thousands of barrels. Authorities note mature trees average 12 years, with Standard and Jonathan varieties dominating and prices strong amid rising demand.
