Fruit crops improve after drought break in early summer
June brought generally favorable growth for fruit crops, though drought-affected areas slowed some. Apple prospects are modestly better than last year with 46 percent of a full crop, while peaches and pears will dip below 1938 levels. Nationwide, peaches total about 61.7 million bushels with quality rising, pears are down from frost, grapes rise, and oranges face a smaller supply due to winter damage. Production across 1939 shows an above-average outlook for the next marketing season, with large walnut and almond crops in California and substantial young plantings boosting citrus output beyond the 10-year average.
