Change in fruit weights in Yakima valley schedule
The Northern Pacific Express changes weighings for Yakima valley fruit shipments. Apples stay at 50 pounds, pears at 45, cantaloupes 60 per crate, and other fruits move to new fixed weights per box or crate. Shippers expect higher weights but potentially lower express costs with new rates. Some weighings are seen as too high while apples and pears are viewed as proper.
