The DASI as of Week 52 stands at 120.3, a change of -0.2% from the last publication.

Today's publication is the last of the 2025/26 season. The next headline publication will mark the beginning of the new growing season and will reflect updates to the DASI methodology.

The California DASI is broadly unchanged from the last headline publication, edging fractionally lower to 120.3 over the past fortnight.

Movement across the county table was minimal and mixed in direction, with modest gains in Butte, Shasta and Tehama offset by slight declines in Kern, Madera and Riverside; the all-county median held steady at 116.2.
