- Markets are steady
- California supplies are forecast to meet projected demand through September
- Mexican stocks are sufficient; markets are lower than those on the West Coast
- A patchwork of varying quality exists among current fields
- Pin rot/brown bead, branching, hollow core, yellowing, and insect pressure persist
- Field crews are selectively harvesting crowns to ensure uniformity and acceptable quality
- Regionally grown supplies are limited and being sold close to shipping points
- The Eastern Canada, Maine, and New Jersey seasons are finishing
- Georgia supplies are set to become available next but the outlook remains uncertain
- Expect steady markets throughout September at slightly elevated levels
