PRODUCTION According to the Crop Reporting Board of the S.R.S., U.S.D.A., united States commerical apple production was 8.21 billion pounds (3.72 million metric tons) in 1982, 6 percent above the previous year's crop but 7 percent less that the 1980 record crop. Of the total production, 8.20 billion pounds were utilized, 6 percent more than last season. There were 3.13 billion pounds utilized in the East. This was up 13 percent from last year's crop. Utilized production was up 27 percent in the .Central States to 1.45 billion pounds. The Western States utilized 3.62 billion pounds, 5 percent below 1981. Washington, the leading State, produced 2.75 billion pounds, fractionaly below last year. Production in New York, the second ranking State, totaled 1.13 billion pounds, up 41 percent from 1981. Michigan ranked third with 950 million pounds. This was up 290 million pounds from the previous apple crop, and was 50 million pounds over the 1980 crop.
THE GROWING SEASON In spite of weather extremes that produced record lows in April and the warmest May on record, the weather cooperated well enough to produce a bountiful apple crop in 1982. Spring arrived during the first few days of April only to see winter quickly return for one week. The mini- blizzard brought temperatures that approached near zero on the morning of the 7th« Fortunately the trees had not broken dormancy and this minimized any damage. Temperatures were near normal during the balance of the month, while precipitation was extremely light. May on the other hand was much wetter and warmer than usual, with the rain coming in the last half of the month. Daily highs reached 80 degrees or more on 13 days in May. This helped tree development make up for the time lost in April. In fact, there was concern that the bloom had moved too fast due to the heat. These concerns proved to be insignificant as by mid-June trade sources were estimating an apple crop of record proportions. The growing season progressed normally in June although the weather was cooler and more moist than usual, while July proved to be a fairly warm and dry month.
THE HARVEST Commercial growers in Michigan began harvesting summer varieties of apples in the beginning of August. The pace gained momentum by mid month as more blocks of Paulareds became mature. Harvesting could have moved along at an even faster rate had it not been for a slow market that developed in August as Washington Shippers struggled to finish the '81 storage crop. Even with the slow pace of trading the harvest of summer apples was mostly complete by the 2nd week of September, although a fair volume did remain to be shipped. By this time growers were beginning to harvest a heavy crop of Mclntosh. Unfortunately cloudy, cool and wet weather had settled in and slowed activity as growers waited for color. By the week ending September 19th, the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service estimated that 25% of the Mclntosh were picked compared to an average of 40%. Meanwhile the harvest of Red Delicious and Jonathans was gaining in volume. When warmer and dry weather arrived in October Mclntosh were nearing completion while Red Delicious were one-third complete with Jonathans about 25%. By the week ending October 8th approximately 50% of the Delicious and Jonathans were off the trees. High temperatures during this time period were causing some additional coloring and maturity problems. Adding to these difficulties growers began experiencing a shortage of bulk boxes. This slowed the harvest for some of the later varieties, and forced growers to be more selective about which apples were being placed in long term storage. On the 16th and 17th a hard freeze Increased the number of drops and created some additional anxiety. Good weather soon returned and by the end of October the harvest was generally complete in the lower two-thirds of the state, while the harvest continued in the north. 6. APPLES- continued
THE HARKET The marketing of Michigan's record sized 1982 apple crop presented a challenge to growers and shippers alike in both the fresh and processed apple markets. The season began disappointingly with the early varieties, particularly Paulareds. Shippers had anticipated a strong early season deal due to the freeze out of the North Carolina's apple crop, but this was not to be. Any influence this may have had on the market place was more than offset by the late clean-up of Washington's '81 storage crop. During this time western shippers literally plugged the distribution system with inexpensive fruit, which in turn slowed the movement of new crop apples from Michigan and other central and eastern states. In a number of ways this set the tone for the coming marketing season. The season began in Michigan with the first sales of Paulareds reported on August 9th. Cartons of 12-3 lb film bags of U.S. Fancy or better 2 1/4 inch and up Paluared sold from $7.50 to 8.00, while some Jersey Mclntosh sold at $8.00. This was the same opening price of the previous three seasons. The demand from buyers was good at this price range and trading was fairly active. This soon changed as supplies increased. The market entered a slump and prices declined steadily during the balance of the Paulared deal. When the last prices were issued for Paulareds on September 19th, sales were slow at $5.50. First-of-season sales were reported on Mclntosh on the 2nd of September at $6.50-7.00, and one week later on Jonathans at $7.00-7.50. Golden Delicious soon followed with the same price as Jonathans, while Red Delicious sales ranged from $7.50-8.00. Although these appeared to be reasonable starting prices, a lagging demand and increasing supplies forced dealers to compete sharply for the available business, and this in turn edged prices lower. By the beginning of October f.o.b. sales on Red Delicious were ranging from $6.00 to 6.50, with Jonathan $5.50-6.00, and Mclntosh $5.50. The market place appeared to be glutted with apples for both fresh market and processing uses at this time and growers and shippers searched desperately for ways to move fruit. The market continued to slide and by week ending October 15th when Romes and Idareds entered the market at $6.50 to 7.00, prices on the other varieties were bottoming out. By the first of November prices on Red and Golden Delicious had settled to a level of $5.50 to 6.25, with Jonathans and Mclntosh $5.00 to 5.50, Romes and Idareds were selling at 6.00-6.50 with Winesap at $5.75-6.50. Although the market had become fairly stable at that time prices did slip 25 cents lower on Red and Golden Delicious during December, and 50 cents lower on Romes, Idareds, and Winesaps. These prices held through the balance of the cold storage deal which ended in late January to mid-February according to variety. The Controlled Atmosphere Storage season began with Jonathans during the last week of December. Prices were established at a level of $6.25 to 6.50, compared to $7.00 to 7.50 one year earlier, and was approximately one dollar over the regular cold storage price. Sales on the varieties of apples from C.A. Storage began during the week ending January 8th with Red Delicious at $6.50- and Mclntosh $6.25-6.50. By the end of the month Golden Delicious began from $6.25-6.75, Idareds at $6.50, with Romes and Winesaps at $6.25-6.50. In early February the market locked in at $6.00-6.25 for Jonathans and Mclntosh while other varieties were at mostly $6.25-6.50. These prices held through most of April. At that time the market strenghtened both in Michigan and in Washington. When the last Federal- State Market News report of the season was issued on May 27th, prices had returned to the higher levels that had been established earlier in the season. APPLES.

PEACHES
PRODUCTION According to the Crop Reporting board of the S.R.S., U.S.D.A., United States peach production in 1932 was 2.29 billion pounds (1.04 million metric tons) of which 2.11 billion pounds were utilized. This was 20 percent below last yearns utilized total and 29 percent less that 1980. The California Clingstone utilized crop totaled 943 million pounds, down 15 percent from last season and off 32 percent from 1980. Excluding California Clingstone peaches, U.S. utilized peach production was 1.17 billion pounds, off 25 percent from 1981 and down 26 percent from 1980. Michigan's production of peaches totaled 50 million pounds. This shows a 43 percent increase from the 1981 crop, and was 25 percent over the 1980 crop. Utilized production decreased 52 percent in South Carolina and was 12 percent in Georgia due to spring freezes. Production in California fell 4 percent.
THE GROWING SEASON Michigan peach growers experienced one of the best growing seasons in recent years during 1982. Although the winter had been colder than normal with ample snowfall, peach trees over-wintered well and were late in breaking dormancy. This was advantageous as record low temperatures in early April had minimal effect on the hardened buds. Temperatures returned to near normal levels in the second half of April, while precipitation was extremely light. Record high temperatures followed in May which forced peach trees through a fast bloom period, and allowed fruit development to catch up to normal by the end of May. By that time a heavy set had been established on most blocks of peaches and much hand thinning was in order. Development of the peaches continued well through June although the weather was unusually cold and wet. This helped build a soil moisture reserve for the warm and fairly dry weather that followed in July. THE HARVEST Michigan growers began harvesting a light volume of early season peaches by mid-July. The momentum soom increased as Garnet Beauty's became ready, and then became more active by the first of August when Redhavens started maturing. The harvest of Redhavens peaked during the week of the 16th when over 65,000 bushels were shipped. By the end of the week mid-season varieties were being harvested, and although the volume declined slightly, the tonnage remained fairly heavy. The pace continued active through the 2nd week of September as growers were wrapping up the harvest of Redskins. The harvest declined seasonally during the balance of September and was complete by the end of the month.
THE MARKET The marketing season began in July as growers started bringing early season varieties, such as the Harbinger, to the Benton Harbor Fruit Market. By the middle of the month Garnet Beauty's of better than average quality were being brought to the marketplace. This kicked off the season with a strong start that carried throughout the balance of the harvest. Growers brought a total of 164,323 half-bushel of peaches over the market at an all time record high average price of $6.16. The first f.o.b* shipping point sales of the season were reported by the Federal-State Market News Service on August 2nd. Redhaven peaches graded U.S. Extra Number One, 2 1/8 inches and up, packed in 3/4 bushel crates sold from $14.00 to 15.00. This compares to $9.00-9.75 a year earlier when a heavy supply of southern peaches forced shippers to be more cautious. The market for bushel crates was established at $12.50 for orchard run or better fruit, compared to $11.00 one year earlier. Prices became firm to slightly stronger during the 29. PEACHES- continued week with sales on hydrocooled 2 1/8 inch and up Redhavens in 3/4 bushel crates as high as $16.00, with 2 1/4 inch and up from $16.00-17.00. The demand from buyers remained very strong for Redhavens, and it was not until the mid-season varieties became available during the middle of the month that prices declined slightly. By the 18th of August 2 1/8 inch peaches ranged from $11.00-12.00, while sales on 2 l/4"s spread from $13.00 to 15.50 according to variety. Field crates of best size and color peaches held fairly steady at $12.00-12.50. When the later season varieties beban in September the market had slipped from 50 cents to one dollar lower according to the size of the peach and type of package. These prices held until the harvest of Redskins had peaked, then advanced as supplies began to dwindle. Final f.o.b. sales of the season were issued on September 16th after field crates had returned to a level of $11.50-12.00, with a few 3/4 bushel crates of 2 1/4's at $15.00.
SHIPMENTS Michigan's commerical peach growers and shippers moved a total of 173,600 cwt. of peaches during the 1982 season. This was an increase of 60,000 cwt. over the 1981 season, and almost 76^000 cwt. over 1980. Most of the peaches moved were packed in bushel field crates. 30.

PRODUCTION According to the Crop Reporting Board of the U.S.D.A. the 1982 prune and plum crop in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington totaled 59.5 thousand tons (54 thousand metric tons), 13 percent less than 1981 and 24 percent below 1980. Michigan's prune and plum crop totaled 11,000 tons compared to 16,000 a year earlier. Of the production 6,700 tons were directed to the fresh market, with 4,300 tons processed. The 1982 California plum crop at 118,500 tons was down 79,000 from the 1981 crop. Prune production in California decreased 21 percent from 1981 to 125 thousand tons and was 26 percent less than the 1980 crop.
THE GROWING SEASON Michigan's plum crop was very light in 1982 even though the growing season was generally favorable. Much of the reason for the low yield was attributed to the biennial bearing nature of Stanleys, which is a major factor considering the tonnage produced in 1981. Prospects were reduced even further by poor pollination and was capped off to a greater extent when the fruit set very lightly. These factors combined with the declining acreage of trees that has taken place over the past several seasons resulted in a lower yielding light volume of fruit. Larger sized fruit had been anticipated due to the light set, but this was offset by dry weather during most of August and early September. Some orchards did produce large fruit, but by and large the size was smaller than anticipated earlier in the growing season.
TEE HARVEST Growers in Southwest Michigan began harvesting Japanese type plums in mid-July. The pace incresed during the month and continued active through most of August. The early harvest of European type plums, mostly Stanleys,-was underway in the Southwest by the week of August 23rd. The harvest soon peaked and tapered off by the 2nd week of September. Growers in the west central region of the state were harvesting Stanleys by the first of September with the peak occurring during the next two weeks. The crop could have been picked at a faster pace had it not been for the demand becoming fairly light in early September. This slowed movement down considerably by mid month, but even at that the harvest was essentially complete by September 25th.
THE MARKET Growers began bringing a light volume of Japanese type plums to the Benton Harbor Fruit Market in mid-July. Receipts remained fairly light until the European type plums, mostly Stanleys, began arriving on the market in late August. Growers sold a total of 35,323 half-bushel baskets of plums on the market in 1982 for a season average price of $5.84. This compares to an average price of $4.53 in 1981, when growers harvested a larger crop of plums. In relation to sales, the f.o.b. shipping point market was much stronger than the Benton Harbor Fruit Market in 1982. The first f.o.b. sales of the season were issued by the Federal-State Market News Service on August 26th. 30 lb- cartons of U.S. One, 1 1/4 inch and up hydrocooled or precooled Stanely plum-prunes sold from $7.50 to 8.00. This compares . to an opening price of $5.50 in 1981, which was also the highest price of that season. As supplies increased in Michigan, and competition stiffened from the west coast, prices softened to a level of $7.00-7.50 during the first week of September. As offerings increased from the west central area of the state, and the demand from buyers lagged, the market lost another half- dollar. Business failed to improve and shippers began to see inventories build. This placed more pressure on shippers to move fruit which resulted in the market dropping to a level of $6.00-6.50 by the 15th of September. By the 21st, when the last f.o.b. of the season was issued, sales had slipped to the lowest range of the season at $5.50-6.00. 39. PLUMS - PRUNES 1/
