A crop we don’t cover on the Bottom-Line report, cherries. The 2025 cherry harvest well underway in the northwestern part of the country, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, three major states, and estimates are it’s the best crop in three years. Two and a half million 20-pound boxes.

Interesting they don’t measure in bushels or tons like we do other crops, but 20-pound boxes. Not the same in Michigan. Last year’s crop orchards lost 75% of the yields due to bad weather, and this year not a lot better.

In fact, Michigan State University calls the crop and the industry at a tipping point.

And wishing you a profitable day.
