Table grape growers expect stronger fruit this season

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The high temperatures this summer are helping the Valley's table grape harvest.

The record heat did create an unusual problem for growers -- the warm days and nights made it difficult to get the fruit to color. But ag officials say most of the fruit will eventually reach the necessary color for picking.
