Cattle, Peanut, Potato Reports Released

USDA reports released June 21 show Yakima Valley agricultural metrics for key crops and livestock. Cattle on feed in the U. S. increased 2 percent compared to last year. Peanut prices received by farmers averaged 22.5 cents per pound for the week ending June 13, up 0.5 cent from the previous week. Potato stocks were down 2 percent from June 1, 2025. The reports provide baseline data for Yakima Valley farmers and agribusinesses. Yakima is a major agricultural hub in Washington, growing potatoes, onions, and other crops. The valley's cattle industry also supports local ranches and feedlots. The USDA data helps farmers track market trends and plan harvests. The reports are part of weekly updates from the National Agricultural Statistics Service. They do not include specific Yakima County figures but reflect statewide and national trends affecting local growers. The next report is scheduled for June 28.
