Markon Live from the Fields, Yuma Green Leaf and Romaine, November 19, 2012, Yuma, Arizona

Matt Collins, a Markon inspector, reports live from Yuma, Arizona where Markon First Crop (MFC) Green Leaf and Romaine items have transitioned from Salinas, California. Overall green leaf condition is very good, though large sizing and ribby heads are contributing to elevated mechanical damage. Romaine quality is good, but some lots are exhibiting long core, wind damage, and a darker profile.
