#HeadlineTherapy California farmers to destroy 420,000 peach trees after Del Monte collapses

Thanks to Erin Keller in Ohio and The Independent Online for the Headline

I was sad to see that Del Monte had gone out of business, a well established Company forced to close it’s canneries as there is lack of demand for their tinned products.

Although a Company called Pacific Coast Producers were able to take some of the the crop of peaches grown by the multi-generational Californian producers , it still left 50,000 tonnes of peaches without a buyer and as a result the only possible solution is to destroy the peach trees and grow an alternative crop instead.

Who would have thought that there was insufficient demand for peaches. Kind of sad really. Couldn’t they freeze dry them?
