WAWG
From NASS
There were 5.2 days suitable for fieldwork in Washington, unchanged from the previous week. Statewide temperatures were below normal.
In Clark County, producers were cutting hay. Pasture and wheat conditions looked good. In Snohomish County, conditions remained wet and cool with little fieldwork. Many fields had not tilled yet, and standing water was still present. Corn was planted in less-than-ideal conditions. Some fields needed grass cutting, but conditions were too wet. Some farmers tried to plant alternative crops with shorter growing periods due to the delays in planting. Feed was in short supply, and dairymen tried to get something planted regardless of maturity at harvest.
In Yakima County, orchard fruit set was highly variable throughout the area. Some apple orchards received a low set, while some orchards showed a robust set. Poorly pollinated fruit continued to fall during June drop in orchards with light fruit set. Apricot crops were starting to color up nicely with half-dollar sized fruit. Early cherry varieties were showing straw color. Grape canopies were filling in with some grape clusters starting to form. Asparagus harvest continued with some fields being completed.
In Adams County, spring wheat and barley were in good condition. A large majority of winter wheat was heading throughout the area.
