After a court allowed Del Monte to sell its assets, Pacific Coast Producers bought Del Monte's canned fruit business. The company agreed to buy about 24,000 tons of peaches from farmers, but that still leaves about 50,000 tons without a buyer, meaning a large amount of the crop will not be used, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Sounds like the cannery only covered a third of peach production?

This is pure greed/hate for fellow citizens. There is no reason to not allow folks to take away the product.
