Washington county berry fields #876734

Asked July 10, 2024, 5:42 PM EDT

Is there a program that your service is working with the local berry farmers on? Some fields are drying up and not being watered. I've lived here in unincorporated Washington county and have never seen this sort of practice before now. Thanks.
