1930 Fruit Crop Shrinks Almost Half in Several States
The September 1930 fruit crop forecast shows Virginia and Maryland near half of last year’s yields, with drought damage spreading to West Virginia. Virginia apples drop from 13,000,000 to about 7,150,000 bushels, while Maryland falls to 5,600,000, and California too faces a decline. Despite regional losses, the national apple crop may reach about 146,057,000 bushels, boosted by New York, Washington, and California gains. Hog slaughter supplies also forecast to fall over the next year due to drought and reduced corn.
