Analysis

Week ending Apr 26 — 22 weeks ago

Tennessee strawberries rated below average in April

USDA rated Tennessee's strawberry crop good to excellent at 51% for the week ending April 26, 2026, its most recent reading for the state. That was down 3 points from the prior week and well under the five-year average of 67%, though still ahead of the 48% mark from the same week last year. The season has only three weeks of ratings so far. With condition trailing the historical norm, the next weekly USDA report will show whether the crop stabilizes or slips further as harvest continues.

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