Although New York State is second only to Washington State in production of​ apples, its production has been declining during the past 20 years. The decline has been particularly steep in counties close to New York City. In​ 1985, there were more than​ 11,000 acres of apple orchards in Ulster​ County, which is 75 miles north of New York City.​ Today, only about​ 6,000 acres remain. As it became difficult for apple growers in the county to compete with​ lower-cost producers​ elsewhere, the resources these entrepreneurs were using to produce applesparticularly landbecame more valuable in other uses. Many farmers sold their land to housing developers. Suppose a revolutionary new diet is developed that involves eating 10 apples per​ day, and the new diet becomes wildly popular. ​Source: Lisa W.​ Foderaro, "Plenty of​ Apples, but a Possible Shortage of Immigrant​ Pickers," New York Times​, August​ 21, 2007. Because of the popularity of the​ diet, the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City will likely increase decrease .
What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City? What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?
