Iceberg prices are lower as warmer weather has aided growth and increased supplies in Salinas and Santa Maria, California. Green leaf and romaine markets are fairly steady at moderately elevated levels.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted when needed due to low weights
• Overall quality is good
  • Fringe burn and wind damage are impacting some lots; insect pressure persists, but is being mitigated at harvest
  • Disease pressure continues to reduce mature harvestable supplies in many fields; romaine is being impacted the most
• Salinas acreage is lower, by design, at this time of year
  • Regional seasons in Colorado, Michigan, the East Coast, and Canada are ongoing
  • Quality and yields are typical for each growing region, spreading lettuce demand across multiple regions
• Iceberg prices will continue to decline into next week; green leaf and romaine markets are anticipated to hold steady
