Apple Crop Estimates Shift Across Regions in 1939
The district's apple crop estimate sits around 14 000 cars, about 4 500 below last year's horticultural projection and 2 500 under actual shipments for 1938. The 1938 figure proved too low, and if not for removing 3 000 acres of trees this spring, output would have exceeded forecasts. Orchard losses and acreage reductions complicate estimates, though quality expectations remain strong with reduced worm infestation and favorable winds. Pacific northwest areas from Idaho to California expect smaller box yields, while eastern regions and parts of New York New England and the central west forecast larger overall U S crops. Despite declines in some districts, a larger national apple crop is anticipated with record cherry and apricot harvests and improving fruit prices.
