Although rain has pushed back the planting of wheat, and now harvest, Washington farmers expect good wheat crops this time around.
Due to torrential rain, the harvest was pushed back a little over a week.
Tom Mick, chief executive of the Washington Grain Alliance said farmers are ready to get out and harvest, but it is too early to definitely say if the yields will be high or not.
Some farmers reported a dark red crop this winter which means the wheat will have protein content between 11.5 and 13.4 percent.
As of June the Washington Field Office of National Agricultural Statistics figured crops would be 102 bushels, up from 93 in 2008.
Prices are slightly lower this year, but farmers should find a successful crop and yield.
