UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG and ROMAINE

May 28, 2020

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine demand is strong; expect unsettled markets over the next several weeks.   

  • The heat spike that hit California growing regions this week, coupled with an upcoming cooling trend, will affect iceberg quality
  • Heat-related issues include growth cracks, internal burn, mildew, seeder, and tip burn (photos attached)
  • Harvesting crews will work diligently to remove damaged leaves
