Apple Marketing Signals Mixed Prospects for 1915 Crop
The 1915 apple crop prospects show 80 percent of last year’s yield with 49 million to 60 million barrels in commercial supply estimates. Early fall varieties are larger regionally, but fungus and rot may reduce usable fruit. Improved business conditions rise in the South and Europe, yet limited steamer space and higher demand for cold storage temper expectations. Onions move 123 cars to date with 40 more expected. wet weather and low prices cut profits, while a Wisconsin move for market gardenernv suggests larger scale onion cabbage ventures. A silo safety warning notes asphyxia risks from carbon dioxide if ventilation fails.
