Virginia Sees 3.8 Million Bushel Apple Crop For 1955
John F. Watson of the Virginia State Horticultural Society projects a 1955 Virginia apple crop near 3.8 million bushels matching the 1945 short crop. The York variety and Stayman demand differ from 1945, causing processors to seek fruit from Pennsylvania and New York and possibly delaying Virginia plants by up to six weeks. Growers remain hopeful on prices for fresh and processing apples amid widespread freeze damage in several states.
