Yarborough Comments in MPBN Blueberry Crop Report

Comments by David Yarborough, University of Maine Cooperative Extension professor and blueberry specialist, were included in a Monday report by Maine Public Broadcasting Network on Maine’s 2011 blueberry harvest. Last year’s crop was about 100,000 pounds more than 2010, but $20 million more valuable because the field price for blueberry growers was almost 25 percent higher, Yarborough said.
