| Abstract:
The 1985 season was the first year that The Peach Report, a weekly update of the peach season, has been published. A key element of this report is estimates of shipments from the major U.S. peach producing regions. This review presents a graphical and analytical assessment of the success of these shipment estimates. Estimates from the first few weeks suffered from start-up problems. Estimates, after these initial problems were overcome, proved to be reasonably accurate. As the actual shipment pattern became more volatile the accuracy of shipment estimates deteriorated. | |
