The Yakima-based Washington State Fruit Commission issued its latest Northwest cherry crop forecast Monday. It's predicting a 10-million-box crop, down 31 percent from last year due to April frost damage and poor pollination...Brett Reasor, packing plant manager at Custom, called it "amazing" to have green cherries on the trees in Wenatchee this late.
