Kentucky strawberries rated ahead of last year
USDA's most recent rating for Kentucky strawberries, for the week ending May 24, 2026, put the crop at 57% good to excellent, a reading now 106 days old. That was down 1 point from the prior week but ahead of the 52% recorded in the same week last year. Only two weeks of ratings were published this season, so the picture is thin. No five-year average was available for comparison. With no further weeks reported, this figure appears to be the season's final condition snapshot for the state.
This is the most recent reading USDA has published for this crop and state; it is not a current-week rating.
