Shortest Peach Crop in Years
Fruit growers merchants canners and speculators lament the shortest peach crop in 16 years. Prices rise from 2.50 to 4.00 per bushel in Baltimore and Philadelphia as demand outpaces supply. Maryland Virginia Delaware New Jersey report only about 20 percent of normal, with only a small 60 percent area in the Connecticut to Alabama district reaching that level. Michigan and Ohio, usually key suppliers, expect well under one fourth of last year’s crop due to frosts and wet weather.
