Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Peaches are the most important fruit crop in Arkansas, producing an annual farm income of as much as $4 million. Although some peaches are marketed locally, most orchards pack for shipment to distant markets. This report describes the materials, labor, and costs involved in packing peaches and provides a basis for comparison of costs among Arkansas growers and with the costs of growers in other areas.
