Byrd of Winchester, whose 40,000 barrel crop last year was the largest, expects around 6,000 barrels this year. Oil smudge pots and heat kept temperatures slightly above freezing. Futures contracts for York Imperial and Crims Golden apples were set at 6 per barrel and 3 respectively. Apples are expected to ripen earlier this fall.
