Traverse
City Crop Activity for July 2010
July 1, 2010:
The sweet cherry
harvest is very early this year, and will be winding down in the second week of
July. Tart cherry harvest will begin the first week of July and run approximately
three weeks. There is ongoing work in vineyard and orchard maintenance, and many
of the nurseries are moving into landscaping. Processing plants are running, but
with the crop damage from the frost this year, many will be processing fruit for
a much shorter period of time. There are some approved migrant housing units available
in the area. Please call your local employment office for more information on
the 2010 season.
