An Apple A Day? Plenty For You In This Year’s Crop

The annual apple crop estimate is calling for the third largest harvest in the Valley's history. Figures suggest the industry will ship over 100 million boxes of apples. Fruit stand owners we talked to say they are looking forward to a large crop, and the apple lovers say they aren't complaining either. "to me, it's the cornerstone of our valley, and it's what provides jobs for so many hundreds of thousands of people," says Rita Hanses. "not only that, but it provides good health benefits." farmers tell our news partner KIMA Action News that the current weather and temperature trends is good for growing their apples.
