LIVE FROM THE FIELDS: Broccoli Quality in the Salinas Valley

A Markon Live from the Fields video about the broccoli quality and heat-related defects.

• Markon First Crop Premium Broccoli Crowns are limited; Markon Best Available is being substituted as needed
• Record-breaking temperatures have caused brown bead, decay, hollow core, knuckly texture, pin rot, and stunted growth throughout the industry
• Yields are dropping as the crews leave the most heavily affected heads in the field
• Supplies are expected to remain limited for the next three weeks
• Better quality is being seen as growers move into younger fields

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for further information.
