expected
That was the consensus
reached by members of the
National Peach Council
Marketing Committee which
met here recently to survey
the outlook for this year’s
peach crop.
Rehaven peaches, the first
major volume variety,
should start about August 1
in the New Jersey,
Maryland, and West
Virginia areas, followed by
continued supplies about five
days later from Penn
sylvania.
For all varieties following
Redhaven, up to the Rio Oso
Gem, a general reduction of
volume is expected from the
amount which are available
for commercial shipments
However, if all goes nor
mally, the season should be
caught up by August 25
Because of the somewhat
shorter crop, the Marketing
Committee said, a majority

of the crop is expected to be
in the larger sizes this year.
Although USDA reports
have indicated that the 1978
peach crop for the Northeast
will be about the same as
1977, using totals for nine
Northeastern states,volume
reductions are expected in
major peach producing
states, the committee
members agreed.
These reductions mclude
35 per cent fewer peaches in
New Jersey than in 1977, and
Pennsylvania 11 per cent
less than last year
Based on these projec
tions, the committee said it
appears that commercial
availability of fresh market
peaches will be significantly
less than the amounts
available last season
