The Importance of Plums in Agriculture

Victor: We used to have about 150,000 acres of deciduous fruit and we're down to about 30,000. Part of it was the almond boom where we had a hundred thousand acres of almonds and say 1980 75 and now we have a million point five. So why did that happen part of is the high price of almonds but part ofIt was the ease of almonds to cultivate and harvest,. especially in terms of labor and fuel and cultivation versus deciduous Fruit.
