Analysis

Week ending Aug 9 — 7 weeks ago

New Hampshire peaches rated well above average

New Hampshire's peach crop was rated 75% good to excellent for the week ending August 9, 2026, the most recent reading USDA has published for the state. That was well above the five-year average of 44%, though down 9 points from the prior week, and above last year's 60% at the same point. Harvest then moved quickly: by August 30, 92% of the crop was in, versus 59% a year earlier. Because this rating is now several weeks old, buyers will want USDA's next report for a current read as harvest finishes.

This is the most recent reading USDA has published for this crop and state; it is not a current-week rating.
