The price recommended for I this year’s Virginia crop is based on a study of all the economic factors in the apple iindustry," said Ben Lacy, a Front Royal grower. He is a member of the Virginia Apple Committee for the Virginia Farm Bureau Marketing Association, and is also chair man of the American Farm Bureau Marketing Association Apple Committee. J. Robert Russell, committee member from Frederick County and a member of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federick board of directors said “These are realistic prices for both the grower and the processor. The marketing association and other growers feel that $5.00 for the York apple is in line with today’s economy." * The apple committee of the AFB Marketing Association is composed of representatives from eight apple producing states. Some of the economic factors considered in the establishment of these prices were: picking costs, short supply and good demand, declining carryover of sauce, increasing costs to both grower and processors, and the short supply of other fruit.
