LIVE FROM THE FIELDS: Light Lettuce Ice

Light lettuce ice developed over the weekend and again this morning causing minor production delays. Sporadic ice may continue over the next several days, but forecasts call for higher temperatures this week. Weather throughout the Yuma season has been much milder compared to previous years. December/January are historically the most challenging months of the year. This season, frost events have been few and far between, and there has been no rain. Although some frost-related defects are present, Markon inspectors are currently seeing some of the best lettuce quality in recent memory for this time of year.
