WAWG
From NASS
There were 7 days suitable for field work in Washington last week. Temperatures throughout Washington were normal to below normal last week.
In San Juan County, cold nights and warmer late afternoons kicked pastures into awakening. Most livestock were still on stored feed. In Snohomish County, hardly any field work happened due to the wet soils. Greenhouses were filling with starts and should be transplanted soon.
Central Washington, specifically Klickitat and Yakima counties, were very dry, and heavy winds removed moisture out of the ground. Crop condition was normal for Douglas County with variable amount of snow mold that was present. In Asotin and Garfield counties, winter wheat looked good but could use some rain. Spring crops started to be seeded.
