Melons and Strawberries Seen Bright for Yakima Valley Fruit
A. de Regt, Yakima Valley Fruit Growers Association manager, eyes a strong melon and strawberry year as frost-hit berries reduce early yields. He notes ample acres in cantaloupes and watermelons, new fields boosting overall production and likely rising prices due to nationwide fruit scarcity. The association coords nationwide oversight to assure quality and market access. After six weeks in Kennewick, de Regt praises local prospects and envisions the valley becoming a premier western fruit district.
