Excerpt from The Fruit Situation, Vol. 96: August 1950 Because of reduced production in California, the 1950 grape crop is expected to be 5 percent smaller than the 19149 crop and 9 percent smaller than the 1939448 average. To replenish the reduced stocks of wine, it is expected that a much larger tonnage of grapes will be crushed for wine, leaving considerably fewer grapes for drying into raisins than last year. With stronger demand for grapes for crushing as well as for fresh use, grower prices for the smaller grape crop probably will continue higher during late summer and fall than prices a year earlier.
