GOSHEN—Apple and onion growers are working to bring in two of Orange County’s biggest cash crops. After uneven weather during the growing season, onions growers are reporting an average yield, while apple growers say this year is “excellent.”
Chris Pawelski farms with his father and younger brother. They had a late start with frozen ground, followed by months of heat and drought. Onions can handle one peril, “but what they can’t handle at that period of time is multiple perils,” Pawelski said.
It really turned out to be an excellent harvest.
