Peas | Corn | Carrots | Green Beans | Limas | Squash

Spring 2008

Spring appears to have finally arrived in the great Northwest.  Old Man Winter did not want to let go, and later than usual cool and downright cold weather slowed the pace of things a bit.  Planting schedules started on schedule only to be held up from time to time by spring snow and some very cold temperatures.  See the individual reports for more details.

This winter and spring also saw the explosion of wheat prices and the continued advancement of corn prices.  These led to more acres not being available for National to plant.  National has seen decreases over last year’s acreage ranging from 10% on corn, green beans and carrots to 35% on lima beans.  More is included in the individual reports.

Thankfully, it appears spring has finally arrived.  Despite the setbacks we are currently only a week to ten days behind our normal schedule.  This extra time should help give National’s operations teams a little extra time to prepare for what is expected to be another great processing year.

Please stay tuned for more crop news as it becomes available.
