More Normal U.S. Olive HarvestWASHINGTON - Aug 10/07 - SNS -- The 2007 California olive crop is forecast at 110,000 tons, more than 4 times higher than last year's crop of 23,500 tons, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates. Although this year's crop marks a return to more normal production levels, January's freeze, inconsistent rainfall last winter and spring, and wide temperature swings during bloom have tempered this year's production.
