Farmers across the state say they're expecting a record breaking harvest this year.
They're expecting nearly 31 million bushels of apples this fall. According to the Holland Sentinel, that’s 7 million more than last fall.
Rob Crane, from Crane Orchards in Fennville, told the Sentinel this could be their biggest harvest in history.
Farmers in Allegan and Kent Counties say good weather, denser planting, and better farming are adding up to a huge and healthy crop.

5. A pair of twin pandas finally have names, just a few months after they were born.
Their names are Jian Jian and Kang Kang. Their names mean good health in Chinese.
The twins were born back in late June in China, and were named on Saturday.
Residents recommended more than 1,700 names before the government settled on the final choices.
They've grown quite a bit, too. When they were born, they were less than half a pound, and now they're more than eight pounds.
