This is a common site in the area west of Brewster in an effort to help feed the deer after the fire. The record apple crop means more supply than demand, at times the quality has caused diversion as well, also many of the lower grades having no market. The ports being shut down has only caused more issues and hardships to the growers, it's shaping up to be a tough year.

Looks like an economic disaster, paid to pick, haul, sort, pack and dispose.  Most of that would make its way back to the grower.  All of us pay more for produce with this kind of planning.  Record prices in the store with growers having a tough time.

That is a good study on the baiting topic. Good info in that study that can be related to this state.

To answer your question Bone, the union at the ports are purposely slowing down in an attempt to get more in a contract. Many small businesses are going to get hurt very bad because of this.
It isn't just apples that are going bad.

Its because of the longshoreman slowdown.
