Maine Blueberries and Canneries Hold Steady Amid Fluctuating Yields
Private blueberry pickers pay stumpage two to four cents per quart, with families earning $20 to $30 daily. Blueberries are scooped from the bushes and leaves are removed by field and factory winnowing. Maine has fourteen large canneries, with 100000 acres in Penobscot, 860000 in Hancock, and 680000 in Washington counties. The 1919 price peaked at $8.60 per case, 1920 fell to $5, and this year’s crop was affected by a late frost. Canners process about 140,000 cases annually, worth $500,000 to $800,000, plus $250,000 from fresh sales.
