LIVE FROM THE FIELDS: Erratic Desert Weather

Watch the latest Markon Live From the Fields video regarding a recent cycle of erratic weather in the Arizona/California desert growing region.

The desert region has seen a pattern of rain followed by a few days of warm weather, then more rain for the past three weeks
This cycle has created humid conditions that cause mildew and other issues to develop in lettuce items
Case weights and quality have been volatile depending on how much damage each crop received and how much harvesting crews can trim
Markon inspectors are selecting the best lots where crews can remove defects and still maintain strong weights and yields

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for further information.
