Processing of almond crop is going to take some time
| By: Bill Curtis 1:43 PM Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 Viewed 53 times. Rating: 0 |
Almond harvest is over, but the crop is not completely processed. With production in excess of one billion pounds, the shelling and other processing taxes existing equipment. In recent years the process hasn't ended until January, when it is expected to end this season. Meantime, growers store the almonds in their orchards under plastic tarps that are ventilated to let moisture escape. This allows growers to safely maintain almond quality until nuts can be sent into the processing system.
