All this in confirmation of what my Grandfather told me about the quantities of peaches grown here. Hmmmm 25 cents a basket. So, they are now worth 60 times as much now. That’s an 8.7% annual increase over 135 years for the producer, and only triple retail price.<<<
Interesting.
Yes, things do change, but then California was not so developed then and did not need the large groves.
Are there still Peach groves in Delaware?
I find those old books both informing and interesting.
Did you catch the politician that they had pushing the dryer.
As always follow the money trail.
>>>Are there still Peach groves in Delaware?<<<
LOL hardly any.... USDA doesn’t even list it as producing any.
My how things change...
>>>Did you catch the politician that they had pushing the dryer.<<<
Gee, I missed it...
>>>I find those old books both informing and interesting.<<<
So do I. I read the whole pamphlet on drying. Many of the old manuals have tons of good information you won’t find elsewhere.
