Mar 2, 2026

The statewide index was little changed from prior week at 73.6, as a substantially improved index for the Sacramento Valley offset some of the decline from worsening conditions in the Southern San Joaquin Valley.

No relevant commentary.

The Sacramento Valley's index recovered on moderately drier conditions, although Shasta County experienced a significant frost event mitigated by its relatively low bearing acreage.

The Southern San Joaquin's index declined 10.4% driven by heavy rains which had largely avoided the region in the early part of bloom.
