View a Markon Live from the Fields video about lettuce ice in Yuma, Arizona.
Markon First Crop Premium Iceberg and Romaine Lettuce items are limited.
- Lettuce ice has developed in many areas throughout the desert region for the past six days
- Production delays of up to three hours have occurred as harvesting crews wait for lettuce and other crops to thaw
- Despite ice over the last several mornings, quality remains very good
- Case weights and yields are significantly lower than normal and expected to remain that way through late November
Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
