Picking peaches in former Schulz orchard

Cape Girardeau County's 1961 peach harvest saw 8,000 bushels from 2,000 trees at the Schulz orchard. Despite losing 1,200 trees to Interstate 55, the harvest continued with dedicated workers.

Cape Girardeau County's peach harvest, ample and mouth watering in quality, was rolling from its orchards the week of Aug. 16, 1961. Here a few of the 8,000 bushels from 2,000 trees are being harvested at the Central Packing Co. orchard on Highway 61, formerly the Schulz orchard. Construction of Interstate 55 took 1,200 trees out of production. Pictured are, from left, Y. Suzuki, orchard manager; Don Knapp, Pat Suzuki, Elsworth Statler and Joe Koch.
