The number of apple trees in Michigan rose by more than one million since the 1978 survey. This was a 33 percent increase, from 3.50 million in 1978 to 4.67 million in 1982. In- creased plantings of smaller trees caused trees per acre to increase to 79 in 1982, up from 67 in 1978. Substantial gains were found in the Northwest, West Central, and East dis- tricts. The number of standard apple trees continued to decline. In 1982 only 2.3 million standard trees remained. There were 2.3 mil- lion dwarf and semi-dwarf trees in 1982, com- pared to 1.2 million in 1978. Newly planted trees, those one to three years old, were 719,000 in 1982, compared to 466,000 in a Less than 50 1978. This increase in new trees would sub- 50 - 150 stantiate the continued prominence of the 151 - 300 Michigan apple industry. Michigan was ranked More than 300 third, behind only Washington and New York, in apple production during 1982.
The top five varieties in 1982 were Red Deli- Apple Trees clous, Jonathan, Idared, Golden Delicious and (Thousands) Mclntosh, respectfully. The ranking in 1978 was Red Delicious, Jonathan, Golden Deli- clous, Mclntosh and Idared. Of trees set from 1980-82, the most common variety was Red Delicious. The other varieties most prevalent in new plantings were Idared, Empire, Mcln- tosh and Golden Delicious, respectfully. SEMI-DWARF & DWARF TREES BY VARIETY AND PERCENT

PRODUCTION According to the Crop Reporting Board of the S.R.S.^ U.S.D.A.^ united States commerical apple production was 8.20 billion pounds (3.72 million metric tons) in 1983^ 1 percent above the previous year's crop and 6 percent more than the 1981 crop. Of the total production^ 8.18 billion pounds were utilized, 1 percent more than last season. There were 3.10 billion pounds utilized in the East. This was down 2 percent from last year's crop, utilized production was down 19 percent in the Central States to 1.18 billion pounds. The Western States utilized 3.90 billion pounds, up 12 percent from 1982. Washington, the leading State, produced 3.0 billion pounds, 15 percent more than the previous year. Production in New York, the second ranking State, totaled 1.10 billion pounds, down 3 percent from 1982. Michigan ranked third with 750 million pounds, this was down 230 million pounds from the previous apple crop, but was 90 million pounds over the 1981 crop.
THE GROWING SEASON The very hot and dry weather during the summer of 83 produced a smaller sized apple and Michigan apple crop. The growing season was unusual from the beginning. In late February and early March very warm weather caused trees to begin to break dormancy. Obviously this was too early as much cold weather was to follow later in March, and in April and May. In West Central Michigan some trees had moved to the green tip stage by mid-April, then development appeared to mark time for about one month due to cool weather. During this period there were numerous frosty mornings, a few of which set record low temperatures. The moderate to full bloom that became apparent by mid-April must have surprised all but the totally optimistic grower. What certainly could not have pleased many was the less than ideal weather during pollination. For all of these reasons it did seem quite extraordinary that Michigan apple growers were going to have a moderate to heavy crop (according to region) by the time the June drop was taking place. About the same time fruit drop was occurring warm weather was becoming established, and unfortunately along with the heat came very dry weather. Except for an occasional rain it became too dry for the fruit to develop,normally. In Southwest Michigan the rainfall for June, July, and August totaled 5.13 inched compared to a 10 year average of 9.48 inches. The other growing regions fared somewhat better, but only marginally so. In fact, some of the additional rain received in the Hart-Shelby area caused considerably more harm than good as the high winds and hail which accompanied it damaged a heavy percentage of the fruit.
THE HARVEST Commercial apple growers in Michigan began harvesting a light volume of summer varieties during the last week of July. Harvesting was light and scattered through much of August due to the very light crop of Paulareds. Essentially it wasn't until the fall harvest began with Mclntosh in mid September that the pace became active. By the 1st of October 50 percent of the Mclntosh crop had been picked, while Jonathans and Red Delicious were becoming active. A week later the harvest of Mclntosh was 85 percent complete according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service, while Jonathans were 65 percent and Reds 50 percent complete. The harvest continued to move at a fast clip and by the first of November most of the crop was under cover. 7.

THE MARKET: The marketing of the 83 apple crop was a significant task for growers and shippers and was unlike any they had ever experienced before. The heat and drought in general produced a smaller apple east of the Mississippi River^ and this in turn overloaded the market for bagged apples. The end result was sharp competition and less than desirable pricesy particularly when pack-out figures were taken into consideration.
The season began on an awkward note with a very light crop of Paulareds. Produce buyers were "hungry" for bagged apples, particularly anything red, and very few apples were available. When the first f.o.b. shipping point prices of the season were reported on August 15th, 12-3 lb. film bags of Ü.S. Fancy 2 1/4 inch minimum or up size Paulareds were selling from $8.00- 8.50. The demand was very strong and in less than a day sales were being booked as high as $9.25, with a general market of $9.00-9.50 established in three days. Meanwhile buyers were becoming less than happy as most were having difficulty locating product. As other shippers entered the deal and brought different philosophies with them the market soon spread from $8.00 to 9.50. In several weeks when the early apples were "cleaning up" the market had basically settled to a level of mostly $8.50-9.00.
The first sales of the season for fall apples were in mid September when Mclntosh 12-3's opened at $9.00-9.50, Jonathans from $9.50-10.00 with a very few Red Delicious at $11.00. These were the highest prices of the season. As the harvest peaked and shippers were able to find enough product to adequately fill the demand from buyers, the market trended lower. By the first of November when all varieties were available for shipping, 12-3 lb film bags of Mclntosh and Red Delicious had slipped to $7.00-8.00, Jonathans were $6.00-7.00, Golden Delicious $6.50-7.00, Romes $7.50, Idareds $7.25- 8.00 with Winesap $7.00-7.50. The market continued to be fairly weak and by the first of December most varieties could be found in a spread from $6.00- 7.00, with most clean up sales from cold storage heavier toward $6.00-6.50 in January.
The first offerings from Controlled Atmosphere storage, other than "special" storage were Jonathans during the first week of January. Sales were generally reported from $7.25-7.50. Three weeks later Red Delicious, Mclntosh, Idareds, Romes and Winesap were available at $7.50 with Golden Delicious $7.25-7.50. These prices held for over a month. Then by late February and early March packers and shippers under continuing pressure to move product combined with a moderate to light demand, found themselves in a weaker marketing position and prices eased down 25 to 50 cents per carton. These prices then held until the last report of the season was issued on May 30th. At that time Red Delicious were $7.00-7.50 with some sales low as $6.50, Joanthan and Golden Delicious $7.00-7.75, Idareds $7.25-8.00, while Romes and Winesaps were mostly $6.50-7.00. The remaining sufplies were in the hands of several shippers, and Michigan apples were expected to be available through June. APPLES.

The California Clingstone utilized crop totaled 619 million pounds^ down 34 percent from last season and off 44 percent from 1981. Excluding California Clingstone peaches, U.S. utilized peach production was 1.13 billion pounds, off 3 percent from 1982 and down 27 percent from 1981. Michigan's production of peaches total 35 million pounds. This shows a 30 percent decrease from the 1982 crop, and was unchanged from the 1981 crop, utilized production decreased 60 percent in South Carolina and was down 16 percent in Georgia due to spring freezes. Production in California was up 5 percent. THB GROWING SEASON Peach trees over wintered well in 1983 due to unusually mild weather. Spring on the other hand was much too cool and there were numerous mornings of frost in April and May. On several occasions record low temperatures were experienced, each of which thinned it's share of fruit buds. The moisture that accompanied the cool spring weather was beneficial, particularly in light of the dry summer that was to follow. In Southwestern Michigan peach trees were in various stages of bloom by the 2nd of May, with full bloom generally noted by the 8th. Unfortunately, light to moderate frosts were experienced on the morning of the 8th, 9th, and 10th. These frosts probably did most of the thinning, and were no doubt responsible for some of the heavier than normal fruit drop that growers began to note in early June. The weather finally warmed up by mid June as the mean temperature ranged in the mid 70's, rather than the 50's and 60's seen earier in the month. Although the warmer weather was welcomed the drought which came along with it was not. Except for an occasional shower it was too dry during July and August. The amount of precipitation recorded for Southwest Michigan from June through August was 5.13 inched compared to the 10 year average of 9.48. This combined with heat resulted in smaller peach size and had much to do with the lighter yields of 1983.
THE HARVEST Michigan peach growers began harvesting a light volume of peaches by the middle of July. These were mostly Harbingers with much of the volume directed to the Benton Harbor Fruit Market. The harvest of Garnet Beauty's began during the last few days of July with Redhavens beginning during the second week of August. Peak harvest of Redhavens took place during the week ending August 27th in the southwest and was gaining momentum in the west central regions and northward. The harvest of mid to late season varieties was active through mid September and was generally cortplete by the 24th.
THE MARKET The prices Michigan growers received for peaches in 1983 was above average which reflected productiop problems from the southern production areas, particularly South Carolina. The market would have been stronger yet for packed peaches (3/4 bushel crates) had it not been for very cottpetitive f .o.b. prices on California peaches. 31.
PEACHES- continued
The marketing season began in Michigan when a few 1/2 bushel baskets of Harbingers were brought to the Benton Harbor Fruit Market and sold for $5,00. The first f.o.b. shipping point prices were issued on August 10th when bushel field crates of orchard run and better Redhavens brought $12.00. The first sales on 3/4 bushel crates were recorded 5 days later on 2 1/4 inch and up Redhaven from $12.00-12.50^ with a few best at $13.00. The market for bushel field crates was^ strong and held at mostly $12.00 through the 19th. The market slipped one to two dollars by the 23rd as the harvest had peaked^ which set the stage for growers to begin packing peaches in 3/4 bushel crates. By that time movement through "truckers" was not sufficient to move the crop, especially since more growers were packing for the field crate market in 83. This re-established the market for 3/4 bushel crates of hydrocooled 2 1/4 inch up peaches at $10.50 while non-hydrocooled were mostly $9.00-9.50. These prices held until the supplies began to tighten up around the first of September when sales were recorded about one dollar higher. As the season began to wind down by mid September 3/4 bushel crates of 2 1/4 inch peaches were generally $11.25-12.00, while field crates were mostly $12.00 with some best bringing $13.00. 32.

MICHIGAN ORCHARD AND VINEYARD SURVEY. 1982 PLUMS M.
PLUMS - PRUNES
PRODUCTION According to the Crop Reporting Board of the U.S.D.A. the 1983 prune and plum crop in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington totaled 62.2 thousand tons (56.4 thousand metric tons), 6 percent less than 1982 and 18 percent below 1981. Michigan's prune and plum crop totaled 13,000 tons compared to 11,000 a year earlier. Of the production 6,800 tons were directed to the fresh market, with 6,200 tons processed. The 1983 California plum crop at 158,000 tons was up 34 percent over the 1982 crop. Prune production in California increased 11 percent over 1982 to 140 thousand tons but was 12 percent less than the 1981 crop.
THE GROWING SEASON Although the erratic spring weather limited production on other fruit crops, plums appeared to have the potential of producing a good crop in 1983. An unofficial guesstimate in mid June had pegged the Michigan plum crop at 16,400 tons. This was considerably over the 13,000 final estimate of the Crop Reporting Service of the U.S.D.A. Much of the reason for the early optimism was that the northern production area had experienced an excellent full bloom, while the southwest and west central regions had a generally good bloom. Some concern had been expressed about a heavier than normal "drop" in some blocks of trees due to the heat, but even so the potential looked excellent by mid June. By that time the weather had become hot and very dry, and remained so through most of August. This stressed the trees and limited the sizing of the plums and greatly reduced yields, particularly in the southwest.
THE HARVEST Growers in southwest Michigan began harvesting Japanese type plums in mid-July, while the harvest of the larger crop of European type plums, mostly Stanleys did not begin until late August with commercial volume during the first week of September. The harvest was peaking in the southwest by the second week of September, while further north growers were underway with the plum harvest. The pace remained active through the third week of Septanber and was generally coitplete by the end of the month.
THE MARKET First-of-season f.o.b. shipping point sales were reported by the Ü.S.D.A.-M.D.A. Market News Service on September 1st. This was about one week later than the season began in 1982. 30 lb. cartons of U.S. One 1 1/4 inch up Stanleys, hydrocooled or preceded, sold from $6.50-7.00. These were the highest prices of the season. The demand from buyers was moderate, and shippers were reporting stiff competition from the west. This resulted in.a weaker market and by the 7th prices had fallen to $6.00. Business failed to improve and due to a lagging demand from buyers the market slipped further. When the last report of the season was issued on the 28th, sales were reported from $5.25-5.50, with an occasional order booked lower. 41. PLUHS - PRUNES 1/
