Apple demand increasing, guestworker program needed

The Washington apple industry will continue to grow as demand catches up with supply, just as it’s done several times in the past, top officials of one of the nation’s largest tree fruit companies say.

West Mathison, president of Wenatchee’s Stemilt Growers Inc., and his grandfather, Tom Mathison, chairman of the Stemilt board, were featured speakers at the Wenatchee Valley College lecture series last Monday evening.

They said the industry has experienced several supply gluts through the years that hurt prices, including 52 million boxes of apples in 1949 and 104.9 million boxes in 2004. But the industry has always recovered because demand catches up, they said.”*
