Olive growers who found their crops marooned may have another buyer. Tracy-based Musco Olive Company said Tuesday it would offer contracts to farmers whose contracts were canceled by the other main olive processor, Bell-Carter Foods. Bell-Carter said this month it needed to cancel an undisclosed number of grower contracts to remain competitive. Musco says it wants to transition farmers to harvesting ripe olives mechanically.
