2,200 Acres Added to Pa.
Spring Vegetable Crops
The Penna. Crop Reporting Service has released a
state vegetable prospect for April 1 plantings, which re
ports that growers indicate intentions to plant 3,600 acres
to summer cabbage this year.
This acreage will go principally into fresh markel
channels with a small amount going for processing on a
non-contract basis.
A spring spinach crop of
22,000 cwt from 500 acres
is now in prospect the re
port says. This is 2,000 cwt.
less than last year. Acreage
was down 100 acres, but an
average yield of 45 cwt. is
in prospect, 500 lbs. above
last year.
If intentions are realized
an estimated 2,300 acres will
be planted to Lima Beans
for processing this year. Last
year’s planted acreage was
2,100, resulting in smaller
stock carry over which con
tributed to the 10 per cent
increase for 1959 plantings.
Prospective plantings of
snap beans for processing
in the state amounts to 6,600
acres, 12 per cent more than
the 5,900 acres planted last
year.
An estimated 10,000 acres
of sweet corn for processing
will be planted in the state
if intentions are realized.
This would represent an in
crease of 15 per cent from
the 8,600 acres planted last
year.
