Tart Cherry Output Plunges
WASHINGTON - Jun 17/10 - SNS -- Tart cherry production in the United States will plunge 46% this year to an estimated 195 million pounds, according to the USDA.
Michigan, the largest producing State, expects a crop of 140 million pounds, down 47% from the revised 2009 crop. The crop potential was reduced markedly by frosts during bloom. Yields vary substantially among varieties. Bacterial canker was reported by growers as a problem in some orchards.
Washington expects to produce 16.0 million pounds of tart cherries in 2010, down 4% from 2009. Columbia Basin spring weather was predominately cool, wet, and windy this year. Frost was a problem during bloom and conditions were less than optimal for pollination.
Utah production is forecast at 24.0 million pounds, down 49% from 2009. A late frost, cold wet spring, and tree fatigue from last year's extra heavy crop resulted in production at about half of last year's record level.
