25 years ago Thursday, Aug. 5, 1982 Ukiah Daily Journal 1982 PEAR PRICES, PACK ARE DOWN. Mendocino County pear growers will be paid $30 per ton less for top quality Bartlett canning pears than last year, and canners also will be packing less of the fruit. Cameron Girton, manager of the California Canning Pear Association, said the Association and canners had agreed on a price of $135 per ton for A1 grade California canning Bartlett pears at a meeting Monday. The pear harvest is now in full swing in many major producing districts, including Mendocino County. The 1981 California crop of canned pears sold at a price of $165 per ton for A1 grade Bartletts. ... “Although the total Bartlett pear crop on the Pacific Coast is about 135,000 tons less than last year’s production, the burdensome industry carryover of canned fruits and a low price in the Pacific Northwest ($122.50 per ton) have forced this range of settlement,” said Girton. “The growers are not happy (with the agreement), but I think they are well aware this is a difficult season,” he said. *** RAIDERS SEIZE 350 PLANTS.
