Extract

U. S. Department of Agriculture statistics indicate that New York, with 21.4 million bushels, produced approximately 14 percent of the total U. S. apple crop in 1974. Information concerning alternative market outlets is necessary if the apple marketing process is to be efficient and effective. A knowledge of the costs and net returns associated with each market is essential in determining the most profitable way for the grower to market his fruit.
