Anticipate Superior Cherry Yield Compared to Previous Season for Cherry Growers - Anticipating Higher Cherry Yields Compared to Previous Season for Cherry Farmers
Get ready to indulge, folks! The orchards of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt are looking ripe with optimism come cherry season. Buckle up as we spill the beans on this year's sweet and sour cherry harvest expectations.
After a tough year, those dreaded frosts are history 🌨️ 🌸 A sour memory of the past, as the 2022 cherry crop has hopes of putting last year's frost fiasco firmly in the rearview mirror. The farmers are on track to bring in a whopping 4,180 tons of cherries between the two states – a significant hike from the previous year's measly pickings! 🍒
"Let's face it," says Carmen Kaps, managing director of the Fruit Growers' Association, "last year brought us no cherries but sorrow. This year, we anticipate a medium pick, anything from average to satisfactory."
The fruits of battling the elements
Other improvements are expected due to the efforts of farmers in combating weather conditions, such as mixtures of vegetable fats and oils to protect against frost. This year's weather forecast seems more favorable, contributing to a promising cherry harvest in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
