News and Stories

MFC Tuscan Lettuce will be extremely limited over the next three to four weeks. Markon expects as much as a 60% drop in available supplies through mid-June. Warm spring growing conditions have pushed harvesting ahead of schedule, while recent cooler weather has slowed new growth; this combination has caused a supply gap.

• Yields are down 50-60%
• Growers are harvesting fields two to three weeks ahead of schedule to meet normal demand
• Insect pressure has increased as a result of dry, drought-related conditions
