Washington state grows the most apples in the nation. This year, they're looking at a record crop of about 155 million 40-pound boxes. That's the good news.

The bad news? Many of those apples might not be able to reach their intended destination on time thanks to labor issues at West Coast sea ports. For more on this, Take Two is joined by Rebecca Lyons, the international marketing director for the Washington Apple Commission.
