CAPITAL PRESS: Farmers in Washington state lost at least $336 million because of last summer's drought.
The report estimated specific dollar losses for only a handful of crops — wheat, apples, blueberries and red raspberries.
Losses for other commodities, including Washington mainstays such as potatoes, milk and cattle, will be tallied later as information becomes available, according to WSDA.
