Sweet Cherry Crop Soars
WASHINGTON - Jun 18/09 - SNS -- Sweet cheery production in the United States is up sharply from last year, leaping 52% higher to a forecast 374,500 tons, according to the USDA.
The Washington crop forecast of 200,000 tons is 11% higher than the June forecast, up 100% from 2008, and 27% above the production in 2007. A very cold winter combined with an excellent bloom benefitted the 2009 crop. Newer plantings also came into production, increasing production potential.
Production in California is forecast at 75,000 tons, 13% lower than the 2008 production and 12% below 2007. The California forecast is carried forward from June. Spring weather generated occasional rain and cool temperatures for California's sweet cherry crop. Storms in early-June caused some damage to Brooks and Burlat varieties.
Oregon production is forecast at 65,000 tons, 8% higher than the June forecast and up 117% from 2008. Good growing conditions and ideal fruit set resulted in expectations for an excellent crop.
