Olive Harvest Plunges
WASHINGTON - Aug 11/06 - SNS -- The 2006 California olive crop is forecast at 50,000 tons, down 65% from the previous year's crop of 142,000 tons, according to the USDA.
Unusually warm weather in January was followed by freezing temperatures in February which damaged fruit buds. Heavy rains and cool temperatures during the peak bloom period in April and May knocked blossoms off trees and disrupted pollination.
