Community Ground Truth

This is an unprecedented early season. We need your eyes.

2026 is the warmest early season in our 10-year dataset. GDD models are lagging behind what's actually happening in the field. It takes a community to fill the gap — one tap tells us what you're seeing.

First — which region are you in?

Action Needed Monitor Context

Top Movers

Top Movers: OR 6d ahead (15.4% of domestic fresh). MI 6d ahead (10.1% of domestic fresh). NJ 4d ahead (10.3% of domestic fresh).

Changes This Past Week

Changes This Week: Traverse City MI entered Fruit Set (was Bloom).

Week Ahead

This Week: Southeast GA: +126 GDD this week (= avg) — 1d behind. Willamette Valley OR: +67 GDD this week (-5 vs avg) — 6d ahead. Central FL: +127 GDD this week (+3 vs avg) — 1d ahead.

Season Events

Pollination Impact: 6 regions with High pollination risk this season. Worst: NW Washington WA — 18 good bee-flight days during bloom (needs 10). 4.5% of domestic fresh supply.

Supplemental pollination options: increase hive density (2-4 hives/acre), deploy bumble bee boxes, or rent mason bees for early/cool bloom conditions.

Frost Impact: 4 regions hit by frost this season. Southeast GA: frost at Bud Break (27°F on Feb 24) — 20.2% of domestic fresh supply; SW (Van Buren) MI: 2 frost days during Dormant (Mar 23-24, low 22°F) — 10.1% of domestic fresh supply.

Assess bloom/bud damage within 48 hours and document affected blocks with photos. If you carry crop insurance (APH/WFRP): notify your agent within 72 hours — do not destroy damaged crop before adjuster inspection.

Rain Impact: 8 regions hit by significant rain during Ripening. Worst: Southeast GA: 7 rain days during Ripening (Jun 14-22, total 4.7″, peak 2.1″). 20.2% of domestic fresh supply.

Harvest ripe fruit immediately before next rain event. Rain splitting causes $300-500/acre losses. Consider Parka cuticle treatment for remaining fruit.

Market Context

Overlap Pressure: Supply overlap trending 5% below historical average. Peak projected weeks 20–34 (May–Aug).

Monitor weekly. If OPI continues to climb, discuss diversion strategy with your processor before peak window.

Chill Risk: Winter chill % of target needed for normal bloom — below 90% risks delayed or uneven flowering, below 70% risks reduced fruit set. Corning CA (75% of target, 3.8% of domestic fresh supply). Dormancy ended — deficit locked in.

Low chill may cause staggered bloom timing and reduced fruit set. Expect an extended harvest window with lower peak volumes.

Season Pattern: This season's supply trajectory most closely resembles 2025 (76% similarity), when FOB data limited. Key driver: late GA start.

A 7+ day shift means your crew schedule may not match your harvest window. Block-by-block reallocation requires real-time pick data. See how →

This analysis uses regional weather data. Your orchard’s microclimate, elevation, and canopy may shift actual timing 5+ days from these estimates. The gap between regional signals and block-level reality is where on-farm data earns its ROI.

- Watsonville CA running 49d ahead of average

Top Movers by Market Impact

Source: Open-Meteo GDD + USDA NASS supply weights

- Watsonville, CA: 49d ahead (18M lbs fresh, 5% of domestic)

- Willamette Valley, OR: 8d ahead (58M lbs fresh, 15% of domestic)

- Bakersfield, CA: 16d ahead (20M lbs fresh, 5% of domestic)

- Corning, CA: 17d ahead (14M lbs fresh, 4% of domestic)

- NW Washington, WA: 9d ahead (17M lbs fresh, 5% of domestic)

> Action: Review labor crew timing — your harvest window may need to shift. Coordinate with your labor provider to adjust arrival dates.

Changes Since Last Week

- Corning CA entered Ripening (was Fruit Set)

- Traverse City MI entered Fruit Set (was Bloom)

This Week

- Central FL: +127 GDD this week — 2d behind

- Southeast GA: +126 GDD this week — 2d behind

- Bladen County NC: +123 GDD this week — 1d ahead

- Bakersfield CA: +100 GDD this week — 16d ahead

- Watsonville CA: +46 GDD this week — 49d ahead

Frost Impact

Source: Open-Meteo daily observed temps

- 1 region hit by frost this season

- Southeast GA: High frost at Bud Break (27°F on Feb 24) (20.2% of domestic fresh supply)

> Action: Assess bloom/bud damage within 48 hours and document affected blocks with photos. If you carry crop insurance (APH/WFRP): notify your agent within 72 hours — do not destroy damaged crop before adjuster inspection.

Rain Impact

Source: Open-Meteo daily observed precipitation

- 1 region hit by significant rain

- Southeast GA: 7 rain days during Ripening (Jun 14-22, total 4.7″, peak 2.1″) (20.2% of domestic fresh supply)

> Action: Harvest ripe fruit immediately before next rain event. Rain splitting causes $300-500/acre losses. Consider Parka cuticle treatment for remaining fruit.

Overlap Pressure Index (OPI)

The OPI estimates how many pounds of fresh blueberries are hitting the market in the same weeks across all tracked regions. When multiple regions harvest simultaneously, the supply glut compresses FOB pricing — growers become price-takers. A higher OPI means more overlap and more pricing pressure. (For context, the 2023 cherry season saw ~70% of US volume land in a single month, collapsing FOB prices and leaving ~35% of the crop unharvested.)

Source: Open-Meteo GDD projections + USDA NASS production weights + USDA FAS import volumes

- Supply overlap trending 1% above historical average — Risk: Medium

- Current peak OPI: 359M lbs (week 26)

- Historical peak: 355M lbs

- Peak window: weeks 20–34 (May–Aug)

> Action: Monitor weekly. If OPI continues to climb, discuss diversion strategy with your processor before peak window.

Chill Risk

Source: Open-Meteo hourly temps, Utah model (Richardson 1974)

- Chill % of target needed for normal bloom — below 90% risks delayed/uneven flowering, below 70% risks reduced fruit set

- Regions at risk: San Quintín Mexico (9%, 0% fresh); Fresno CA (0%); Corning CA (75%, 4% fresh)

> Action: Low chill may cause staggered bloom timing and reduced fruit set. Expect an extended harvest window with lower peak volumes.

Season Pattern

Source: RMSE across 4 historical years, supply-weighted

- This season's supply trajectory most closely resembles 2025 (52% similarity), when FOB data limited

- Key driver: early CA start
