hundredweight, an increase
over both 1965 and 1966.
The snap bean forecast is for
a fresh market production of
42,000 cwt., up 8,000 from ear
lier estimates.
Tomatoes will yield an esti
mated 368,000 cwt., a jump of
70.000 more than last year.
Beet production may total
50.000 cwt. Despite higher
yields, this is less than crops
of the previous two years be
cause of less planted acreage.
Late summer cabbage, al
though planted on 100 fewer
acres than last year, may real
ize 483,000 cwt. The early fall
cabbage crop is forecast at
176 000 cwt, 8,000 more than
in 1966
Celery production may reach
40,000 cwt. an increase of 6,-
000 from 1966 because of more
acreage and higher yield.
Total cucumber crop is ex
pected to be 45,000 cwt, up
slightly from 1966 but well be
low 1965 production. Acreage
has declined substantially since
1965, but increased yields this
year partially offset the reduc
tion.
The best time to relax is
when you don’t have the time
to spare.
