Today’s Press Herald reports on this year’s blueberry harvest.
Maine’s wild blueberry growers are expecting their biggest crop in more than a decade.
This year’s crop is projected to come in between 90 million to 95 million pounds, with the monthlong harvest kicking into gear the first week of August. If the yield reaches 90 million pounds, it would be the largest harvest since 2000, when production reached a record 110 million pounds.
