La Nina still augurs snow
and rain, but drought
returns to parts of NW
11 percent of Oregon
in ‘moderate
drought’
By DON JENKINS
Capital Press
The remaining members of the Trans-Pacific Partnership have reached a new deal that excludes the U.S.
Federal climate forecasters
said Thursday that the rest
of the winter most likely
will be cool and wet in the
Northwest, even as other
federal weather watchers
reported that dry and even
drought conditions have
crept back into Oregon, Ida-
ho and Washington.
The Climate Predic-
tion Center cited La Ni-
na’s grip on the tropical
Pacific in forecasting that
the next three months will
be cooler and wetter than
normal in Washington, the
Idaho panhandle and most
of Oregon.
Meanwhile, the U.S.
Drought Monitor, pro-
duced by a separate agen-
cy, released a weekly up-
date that showed parts of
the Northwest was dry-
ing out, most notably in
Oregon.
Some 11 percent of the
state, spread across parts of
10 Eastern Oregon counties,
is in a “moderate drought,”
the lowest classification.
It’s the first official sign of
drought in Oregon since Oc-
tober.
The swath of drought
extends slightly into Ida-
ho, taking in a little more
than 1 percent of that
state.
The new three-month
outlook is similar to previ-
ous seasonal forecasts. La
Nina, a cooling of ocean
surface temperatures along
the equator, generally brings

New TPP deal puts U.S. wheat
farmers at tariff disadvantage
U.S. wheat organizations
say overseas demand for
their crop is at risk now that
the remaining 11 members
of the Trans-Pacific Partner-
ship have concluded talks on
a revised deal excluding the
U.S.
“Exactly one year ago,
President Trump announced
the United States would pull
out of the TPP,” said Ben
Conner, director of policy
for U.S. Wheat Associates,
in a press release. “The an-
nouncement today that the

11 remaining TPP members
have concluded talks on a re-
vised deal without us sends
another discouraging signal
to our long-time wheat im-
porting customers in Japan.”
Japan imports an average
of 3.1 million metric tons of
U.S. wheat every year, ac-
cording to U.S. Wheat and
the National Association of
Wheat Growers. That was
about 49 percent of Japan’s
food wheat imports in 2016,
according to the USDA.
Canada supplied 34 percent
and Australia 17 percent that
year.
After full implementation
of the new TPP, Japan’s im-
port tariffs on Canadian and
Australian wheat will drop
by about $65 per ton while
the tariff on U.S. wheat will
remain.
“That would put U.S.
wheat producers at a total
price disadvantage of more
than $200 million per year
from TPP alone,” Conner
said. “As the agricultural
community warned when
the president made the an-
nouncement, withdrawing
from TPP was shortsighted

reserves the right to
refuse any and all bids
and unnecessary, and now
U.S. wheat farmers could
take the hit.”
“It is a very bad deal for
our farm families and com-
munities, for the U.S. to
not be in TPP,” said Glen
Squires, Washington Grain
Commission CEO. “There
is nothing positive about
turning our backs and reject-
ing beneficial trade with so
many customers and trading
partners, particularly Ja-
pan, who has often been the
number one market for our
wheat and has always been
the number one market for
club wheat.”
Squires is part of a group
of Northwest and national
wheat industry leaders who
have been in Japan meeting
with government officials
and flour millers. Also in
the group are Mike Miller,
Washington grain commis-
sioner and chairman of U.S.
Wheat; Damon Filan, Wash-
ington grain commissioner
and manager of Tri-Cities
Grain; Michelle Hennings,
executive director of the
Washington Association of
Wheat Growers; Oregon
Wheat Commissioners Dar-
ren Padget and Walter Pow-
ell; Idaho Wheat Commis-
sioner Bill Flory; and Vince
Peterson, president of U.S.
Wheat, and Mark Fowler,
vice president of overseas
operations for U.S. Wheat.
“The Japanese message is
simple. The U.S. should be
part of TPP,” Squires said in
an email. “It is devastating to
U.S. agriculture, and wheat
in particular, to not join TPP.
Japan is not interested in a
bilateral agreement.”
“As expected, the re-
maining members of TPP are
moving forward without the
United States,” stated Gor-
don Stoner, NAWG presi-
dent and an Outlook, Mont.,
wheat farmer. “If nothing
else, this announcement
should serve as a rallying
cry for farmers, ranchers and
dairy producers calling for
the new trade deals we were
promised when the president
walked away from TPP. The
heat needs to be turned up
on the administration and
on trade negotiations with
Japan. An already stressed
agriculture sector needs the
benefit of fair and free trade
now.”
“We are working to en-
sure our elected officials
(both state and national) and
those in the administration,
including our trade represen-
tatives, know how important
this market is to our state
and region,” Squires said.
“We don’t want to lose this
important Japanese market.
If so, the hurt will be felt in
communities not only across
Washington, but across the
region and into the upper
Midwest.”
Other TPP countries with
rapidly growing demand
for imported wheat include
Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia,
Chile and Peru. Singapore,
Brunei and New Zealand are
the remaining TPP partners.

A weak to moderate
La Nina formed last fall.
Although this La Nina’s
strength may have peaked,
the ocean almost certainly
won’t warm to normal tem-
peratures until the spring,
according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
La Nina has yet to pro-
duce large amounts of snow
in the mountains.
Oregon snowpacks are
well below normal for
mid-January, according to
the Natural Resources Con-
servation Service. Snow-
packs in 11 basins moni-
tored daily by NRCS ranged
Thursday from a high of 56
percent in northeast Oregon
to a low of 23 percent in the
Klamath Basin in Southern
Oregon.
Snowpacks in Washing-
ton, Idaho and Northern
California are generally bet-
ter, though some basins are
well below normal.
A basin that feeds the
Lower Columbia in south-
west
Washington
was
65 percent of normal on
Thursday, according to
NRCS.
The Owyhee Basin in the
southwest corner of Idaho
was at 37 percent. Snow-
packs in Northern Califor-
nia basins were 65 percent
or higher.
The percentage of Ore-
gon that is abnormally dry
increased to 65 percent from
22 percent the week before,
according to the Drought
Monitor.
Portions of southwest
and south-central Washing-
ton, making up 9 percent
of the state, are abnormally
dry.
