[Growwine] support Ontario Peach Growers

[Laura]

I believe that many of the canning peach growers in Niagara pulled out their 
clings last year when the St Davids plant closed.
Most will be replanting to freestone (fresh market) peaches this spring. 
Expect to see a glut in the fresh peach market in about 5 years
