Bigger U.S. Peach Crop SeenWASHINGTON - Jun 10/10 - SNS - The 2010 peach crop in California, Georgia, and South Carolina is forecast at 937,000 tons, up 1% from 2009, according to the USDA's latest crop production estimates. The South Carolina crop is forecast at 120,000 tons, up 60% from last year. Unusually warm spring temperatures and plenty of rainfall have created nearly ideal growing and maturing conditions. Storms have provided ample moisture without causing hail damage. Harvest started early and was 8% complete by June 1, just slightly ahead of average. Georgia's peach crop is forecast at 42,000 tons, up 31% from last year's crop. Harvest began around mid-May on what is expected to be a very good crop. If realized, this will be the largest crop since 2004. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
