Yakima's dairy industry reported 1.28 billion pounds of cheese output (excluding cottage cheese) for June 2026, a 2.0 percent increase from May 2025 and 1.1 percent above April 2026, according to USDA NASS data.

Peanut prices received by Yakima Valley farmers averaged 21.2 cents per pound for the week ending June 27, down 3.2 cents from the previous week, per the same USDA report.

The data reflects trends in Yakima's agricultural economy, which relies heavily on dairy and specialty crops. Dairy remains a key industry for Yakima County, with the valley producing over 40% of Washington's milk. Peanuts are a smaller crop but still contribute to local farm income. The June 2026 figures show a temporary dip in peanut prices, though the long-term trend remains stable.
