Why do they have to destroy the peaches? Can't they harvest them?

Funny sad and true.....this world ain't meant to last long

They’re canning peaches. The only market for truckloads of crunchy peaches is a commercial cannery. Probably worth more just tilled back into the dirt as compost, and less cost.
