Analysis

Week ending Jul 12 — 11 weeks ago

New Hampshire strawberries rated fully good to excellent

New Hampshire's strawberry crop was rated 100% good to excellent for the week ending July 12, 2026, unchanged from the prior week. That reading, the fifth of the season, came as petal fall reached 100% and fruit set stood at 99% for the week ending July 19. Planting, green tip, pink and full bloom stages had all reached 100% completion in the weeks leading up to that point. USDA projected the crop would be fully harvested by the week ending August 2. Buyers can watch that harvest-completion report for confirmation the crop closed out as scheduled.

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