Extract

Apple production in Maine has averaged slightly over 1.6 million bushels per year during the five year period 1966–1970, and annual cash receipts averaged about $4.1 million for the same five year period. This $4.1 million of cash receipts represents only about 2 percent of Maine's total agricultural receipts, but it is a major source of income for the relatively small number of producers involved.
