WAWG
From the National Agricultural Statistics Service
There were 6 days suitable for fieldwork in Washington, down from 6.7 days the previous week.
Western Washington received excess moisture over the past week. Central Washington had cool temperatures for this time of the year, which slowed pasture growth. In northeast Washington, mornings of heavy frost and afternoons of showers had slowed spring planting. Pend Oreille and Spokane counties had most of their spring planting finished. Cows and calves were mostly out on pasture. In east central Washington, producers received precipitation that helped improve topsoil moisture conditions and maintained crop quality. Southeast Washington also saw some much-needed rainfall.
