[Growwine] Interesting article re: grapes vs tree fruits in the Okanagan

[Ryan]

At some point (many decades away possibly) I think the practice of "dumping"
of Chinese, etc. apples in the Canadian market will become uneconomical.
This will happen when oil & other transport costs rise too high and also
when Chinese labour costs begin to rise and their currency value begins to
rise.  If this happens I hope maybe we'll see the return of serious apple &
other fruit growing in places like Ontario's Northumberland County, Meaford
area, and in B.C.

But that might be too optimistic.
