The 2025 wheat harvest in Eastern Washington was a mixed bag. Winter wheat yields were average to above average in most locations with good quality. Unfortunately spring wheat yields were poor thanks to an unusually dry spring and summer.

All three of these families have an immense reverence for following in the footsteps of the previous generation and a deep sense of stewardship in their land. For them, farming isn’t just a job, it’s a calling. Read more about these remarkable families:
