MORRESTOWN, N.J. -
Gail McPherson, New Park,
Pa., recently received the
trappings of the Agriculture
Spokesman of the Year
Award, which had been
announced last February.
The New Jersey Peach
Marketing Clinic provided
the forum for the award as
well as an update on the
peach crop situation across
the nation.
In Pennsylvania, frost and
drought are expected to cut
the Commonealth’s crop by
14 per cent, but, in general,
the crop looks good, and with
some rain, will be excellent,
reported Paul McPherson,
past president of the
National Peach Council. Hail
has only been spotty, and
with Michigan and Ohio
shipping west, the market
for the Commonwealth’s
crop should be good.

“Not even three inches will
make the Red Havens,” he
stated. Missouri has been
hurt by frost, but Arkansas
has the best crop in years.
He predicts that Michigan
will market to near points.
West Texas was a fiasco, in
his words.
The New Jersey report
from Ernest Christ, Rutgers
University, was much
brighter, Irrigation has
helped size, and the state
expects a good crop.
Crop reports for other
parts of the nation find the
South nearing an end of
peach prduction, having had
a poor weather year with
drough and extreme heat
which affected size and
qulity as well as volume. G.
Ansel King, Market In
formation Center, Clemson,
described Georgia’s
situation as dire due to
disease and hail damage.
