Mendocino fruit and grape crops show promise despite drought
Mendocino County agricultural chief Ted Eriksen Jr. notes prospects for 1977 fruit and grape crops look favorable but hinge on water. Bartlett pears may total about 44 500 tons, with 1976 unharvested tonnage suggesting similar or slightly higher volumes. Vineyards look good but water and soil moisture remain critical for dry wine grapes and prunes. Three 4-H members from Mendocino and Lake Counties will attend a national Citizenship Shortcourse in Washington June 18 25, joined by club leaders and county councils supporting their plans for citizenship work.
