Upstate Growers (Upstate) is a cooperative corporation owned by 12 large apple farmers in New York State. Upstate is responsible for managing all 12 apple orchards, picking and sorting the apples, and producing the final apple products. Apples are washed and sorted into three grades: large un-bruised apples, large bruised apples, or small apples. These three apple grades/categories comprise the final products produced and sold by Upstate. Large un-bruised apples are sold in supermarkets as whole eating apples after they are wrapped, packed, and shipped. Large bruised apples are peeled, cored, sauced, cooked, bottled, packed, and shipped to retailers as applesauce. And, small apples are juiced, cooked, filtered, and bottled as apple juice that is sold to supermarkets. Large un-bruised apples also can be converted into either applesauce or apple juice. Large bruised apples also can be juiced and bottled as apple juice like small apples, but cannot be sold as whole eating apples. All three types of apples can be sold as is at $11 per 100 pounds of whole apples for use as livestock feed without incurring any additional costs.
All three types of apples (large bruised, large un-bruised, and small) are sorted into crates containing 100 pounds of apples.
The cost of wrapping, packing, and shipping 100 pounds of large un-bruised apples is $12, which can be sold as whole apples for $31.
The cost of peeling, coring, cooking, saucing, bottling, packing, and shipping 100 pounds of bruised large apples is $60, which can be sold as applesauce for $80.

Upstate harvested, washed, and sorted 4.6 million pounds of apples. The cost of operating the 12 orchards was $274,000, and the cost of picking, washing, and sorting the apples was $48,000. These 4.6 million pounds of apples yielded 9,300 (100-pound) crates of large un-bruised apples, 14,200 (100-pound) crates of large bruised apples, and 22,500 (100-pound) crates of small apples. The orchards operating costs and the costs of picking, washing and sorting the apples are allocated to three apple categories based on apple weight.
