Drought conditions contributed to a significant drop in West Virginia's apple production in 2010. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday that total apple production in the state was 64 million pounds, down 22 percent from the 2009 estimate of 82 million pounds.
The state's peach production of 10.6 million pounds was unchanged from 2009. Eastern Panhandle counties where much of the state's apples and peaches are grown were declared disaster areas stemming from last year's hot, dry conditions.
