Area Apple Harvest Set for Sept Work Harvest in Full Swing by Sept Twenty
Area apple growers prepare for a full harvest around Sept 20 with a forecast of over five million bushels in the Northern Valley near Winchester. Red Delicious will be ready Sept 20 to 25, with Golden Delicious due the week of Sept 15, and other early strains likely within two weeks. The harvest benefits from good weather but may be affected by labor supply and sunshine, while packaging rules emphasize quality and tight weights. Local workers from Jamaica and Puerto Rico join domestic staff to meet labor needs as 150–200 workers reside at the Fairmont Ave labor camp and migrants help ramp up harvesting capacity.
