MARKETING THE MICHIGAN APgLE CROP

* Brief Review of the 1937 Season

' by

R* £• Keller

Market-reports on apples were issued from the Bentoîi Harbor, Michigan office from August.. 28, 1937 to November 10, and from the Grand Rapids, Michigan office

.from November 12, 1937' to January 10, 1Ö38,

National Situati^on The 1937 estimate qf total apple production in the United States was placed

at 211,0 60,000 bushels compared with a production of 117,506,000 bushels in 1936, and a five-yeax average of 164,50 6,000 bushel s • The 1937 harvest was the largest since 1926. The 1937 crop in the western State s was only slightly larger than the

.1931-35 average of 52a million bushel st In theAolantic Coast Slates the crop lims indicated at nearly 4l pore en t above the 1931-35 average, and in the mid-wostem» States at about 53 percent greater than average» Carlot shipments to date CMarch 7,1938) total -54,151 cars as compared to 48,880 cars to date a^year ago, and 57,027 cars the total chipped for the' 1936 season» f

. . ' . Michigan Situation

Michigan's 1937. apple harvest was the largest since 1920, 70 percent larger than.the 1936 harvest, and 100 percent above the five-year average (1928-32)• The; State's total crop was estimated at 14,432,000 busnel s and compares to 9,524,000 bushels produced in 1936 and 7,182,000 bushels-for the five-year average (1928-32/•

;The-1937 season was \musually favorable for the State's .apple crop« It was

was necessary in many orchards« Ampîè moisture produced* excellent growth« The sizej col frowing 1 __^____ ,

OSS on late stock in October. Shipments to

- - g loTt and quality of the Michigan apple crop was above average» The only .growing/losses reported were occasional spots injured by hail, and some windfall

' Michigan's rail shipments reflect*the larger 1937 aPple crop« date (March 7.,1938) total 2,349 cars as compared to 1,644 cars a year ago to date, and final 19.36 shipments of 1,651 cars« Movement of apple's over the Benton Harbor cash'maîpket amounted to 1,276 cars, considerably less than the 1936 total when 1,806 cars were sold over, the rmarket, but above the 1931-36 average of 1,224 cars« The movement over the cash market was only moderate because prices were so low that many growers preferred to store, and also substantial quantities of second

.grade fruit we«re not marketed because of lack of demand and low prices« 1.937 returns for Michigan apples were disastrously low» The average value

'of all apples sold over the .Bonton Harbor cash market cash to grower basis was estimated at 55^, the lowest figure since prices have been tabulated in 1930« This compares to the average in .1-936 of $1«02 Per bushel» Fruit sold bv shippers and

.associations from warehouses and packing houses also moved at low levels» Carlot

Tne 1937 deal opened up in volume with the harvesting of the Buchess crop. Returns on this variety were low with movement very slow, prices ranging between 30 and 60^ per bushel. Only.the best lots could be sold« The Wealthy harvest

.WAS equally dull with most stock maturing when farmers, shippers, and buyers were .busy with high-priced peaches, so harvesting loss was heavy. Only three or four /fall and winter varieties returned adeg^atè prices« They were late Mclntosh ^holdings, Delicious, R«I«Greenings, ana Spys» The Mclntosh, especially, cleaned

up strong» The Jonathan harvest was heavy eind prices only ordinary* Farm pack sold during harvest time mostly aroimd 55-65^, and warehouse pack stock at 70**75^.

,Stock placed in cocsaon and cold storage for winter sale was much heavier than usual due to low fall prices. Values firmed up right after harvest for cold storage stock to meet additional charges but never improved much for common storage holdings« • The cold storage movement was light during November and December çit the increase so most stock was held into January and February, when prices declined slowly. The storage deal was even more unsatisfactory than the harvest selling«

. The movement of poorer selling varieties, coitmercial grades, and small fruit was aided'Jjy substantial purchases by the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation. AITO' purchases during the storage season aided in cleaning up heavy holding of all Jots held« '
