Pau, I sold them mostly for half price, so if I got $16 per peck on HC's I got $8 for HC 2nds. I just sold a bunch of apples (2nds) going to a local Pastor who is showing kids how to make cider, for $10 per bushel. Going to a good cause in my book! Normally I get about $15/bu for 2nds.
Stu, yes I just get them out of the orchards to keep them clean. They should be ok to just drop, but I like to get them off trees and out of the orchards. I actually had to get permission from the local game warden as it is against the law to bait deer w/ apples here...No I don't want to get into a CWD debate! :)
