Blueberry Expert Interviewed About Crop
David Yarborough, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension blueberry experts, was interviewed by the Bangor Daily News about the effects of the cold, wet, foggy spring on the blueberry crop along the Down East coast. Yarborough said the fields close to the ocean may be a bust, but inland fields are a lot further along. He also said the warm winter is making insect pests more of a problem for growers. The Lewiston Sun Journal also ran the story.
