Cool spring delays crops in Eastern Washington


Local News | Cool spring delays crops in Eastern Washington | Seattle Times Newspaper
West of the Cascades, Orting farmer Allen Scholz is worried.

"I don't know an optimistic farmer anywhere," he said. "We are all bummed out by the weather. I've never had this feeling before, nor seen so much suffering going on."

Scholz estimates the late-growing season might cost him 30 percent of his crops - except for rhubarb, which is thriving.
