Salinas and Santa Maria, California

  • Supplies are adequate but will tighten as West Coast demand strengthens
  • 12-count heads are readily available; 9-count stocks are limited
  • Quality is fairly good; brown bead and mildew are potential issues due to the weather
  • Diamondback moth presence and insect damage are being noted in several lots
  • High temperatures coupled with potential rain this week are expected to push markets slightly higher in the next 7-10 days

East Coast/Midwest/Canada

  • Maine will reach peak production this month
    • The season will slowly wind down through late October/early November
    • Quality is strong; weather is ideal for growth
