Bowman Apple Plant and Crop Collapse in Virginia
The Bowman Apple Products Company near Mount Jackson expanded to two acres, later covering two more, with 300 employees and a output of one million cases of apple sauce and juice last year. Virginia faced a reduced crop of five million bushels, yet large regional canneries consumed most of the short crop, leaving less for Bowman to process.
