"At the Fenton apple grower Spicer Orchards, I learned that 7,000 pounds of apples vanished from a 5-acre section of its Linden-based orchard sometime between October 6 and October 10 — roughly 22,000 stolen apples valued at about $14,400 — and the orchard doesn’t carry insurance for this type of theft; the situation echoes other recent farm thefts in the region." - Brenna Houck
