Please watch the above Markon Live from the Fields video regarding the current quality of key vegetable items in the Salinas Valley.

• The quality and shelf-life outlook for Salinas Valley produce items is improving significantly
• A steady barrage of spring rain events and prolonged cool weather resulted in disrupted plantings, disease pressure, and fatigued crops in April and part of May
• The rainy season is now essentially over, and it has been nearly three weeks since the last storm
• Although some disease and insect pressure are present in some crops, the extended outlook on quality and shelf-life is better than it has been all season
• Markon inspectors are actively monitoring commodity and value-added items and working with growers to secure the best product for Markon orders

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for further information.
