Co-Op Objects to Apple Prices by Two Processors
The Eastern Fruit Marketers' Co-Op meeting in Martinsburg West Virginia voiced strong dissatisfaction with new apple prices set by two Appalachian processors Musselman Co and Duffy Mott Co. The board urged deferring deliveries and diverting fruit to fresh channels while protecting financially hard pressed growers but refused to impose hardship. They noted price increases of 4-6 cents per bushel over last year and credited processors for prior gain, though warning these terms remain inadequate amid current conditions.
