FROM THE FIELDS: SALINAS VALLEY HEAT SPIKE

July 08, 2021

More high temperatures are in store for California’s Salinas Valley today through Sunday, July 11. Coastal temperatures will remain at seasonal norms, but inland areas will experience highs in the upper 80°s to over 100° before gradually cooling down next week.

Markon inspectors are monitoring quality and supply closely for any impact from the hot, humid conditions such as spikes in mildew pressure or heat stress in baby leaf, broccoli, cauliflower, and some lettuce items that are currently growing in the warmer areas.

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
