Hop Crop Prospects and Hazards in Yakima County
The Yakima valley hop season opens amid rising prices and mixed yield forecasts. Growers expect strong prices up to 40 cents per pound, with some predicting yields down 15 to 20 percent, while others anticipate large outputs. A strike among Moxee Indian pickers failed to achieve higher pay, and a runaway incident injured farmer A J Penning, who suffered a broken rib and internal injuries after his wagon collision near South Second Street.
