The association also outlined in a July 16 news release that specialty crop producers are facing many of the same cost and market pressures as row crop farmers. The Farm Bureau Intel outlines six representative specialty crops - almonds, apples, blueberries, lettuce, potatoes and strawberries - with “over $7 billion in estimated 2025 economic losses as labour, input, compliance and capital costs outpaced farm-level returns. Available 2026 market data show that conditions for specialty crop producers have not broadly improved.” These crops account for only about one-quarter of specialty crop receipts.
