Green Leaf/Romaine

• Green leaf and romaine prices remain low; stocks are ample
• Because recent weather conditions have been overcast, wet, and windy, mildew pressure remains prevalent
• Cold mornings and lettuce ice will be concerns this week
• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine are sporadic; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as necessary due to mildew damage

Iceberg

• Supplies remain readily available; markets are soft  
• Heads are large with firm texture
• Mildew pressure remains a problem, but most damaged leaves can be removed; expect lighter color and inconsistent case weights as a result
• MFC Premium Iceberg is sporadic; MBA is being substituted due to low weights
