YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — This year’s Washington apple crop is estimated at 131 million forty pound boxes.
That’s according to the Washington State Tree Fruit Association, which says this year’s crop is down two percent from the last years’ harvest of 134 million boxes.
The association says farmers are anticipating excellent quality fruit from the nation’s largest apple crop.
Apple harvest typically begins in August and continues into November.
