Berries Shipments Reach Seven Cars as Season Nears Close
The valley's berry crop this year will bring about $15,000 with over ten cars shipped this season. Frosts and a late spring trimmed production, but prices stayed near $5.00 per crate, boosting growers' profits despite the smaller harvest. Shipments likely end by midweek. The other item notes the Washington Irrigation Co offering Sunnyside canal system for sale to the government at $550,000, with Interior Department deliberations and a protest from the Reclamation Service.
