YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Continuing sales of the 2010 Washington apple crop could make it the largest ever.

Jon DeVaney with the Yakima Valley Growers-Shippers Association says warehouses in the Yakima and Wenatchee districts are expected to ship another 38 million boxes, bringing the total to nearly 109 million boxes.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that would edge out the record of 108 million boxes set in 2008.
