LIVE FROM THE FIELDS: Desert Iceberg Lettuce Update

View a Markon Live from the Fields video about current iceberg quality in the Arizona/California desert growing region.

• Temperatures have been abnormally high all season
• Minor periods of lettuce ice have not sufficiently slowed growth, something that is needed to keep fields on schedule
• Accelerated growth has pushed fields as much as 15 days ahead of the production schedule
• Growers are bypassing some fields to harvest the best quality and avoid heads with dense texture, internal burn, and weak tip
