Walnut growers expect large harvest

Tuesday, October 08, 2013

This year's walnut harvest is set to become the third largest in California history.

Harvest is now underway, and the National Agricultural Statistics Service expects it to be about 495-thousand tons. Growers saw a larger harvest only last year and in 2010.

San Joaquin County is the number one producer of walnuts here in California, providing about 75 percent of the world trade.
