Disposing Of Excess Fruit in Virginia Reports
Dr. Fred W. HofMann of the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station cites reports by apple growers J. B. Bonham of Chilhowie and Sam R. Hurst of Winchester praising surplus and culled fruit as stock feed. He urges diverting excess apples to by products to keep them off the fresh fruit market as the federal purchase program requires by crop by crop use. HofMann links these reports to his 30 year advocacy dating to the University of Nebraska and a December past reminder.
