The Arizona and California desert growing region is experiencing widespread lettuce ice with morning temperatures dropping to as low as the upper 20°s-to mid-30°s and more lettuce ice events expected throughout the week. Continued harvesting delays of up to three hours with potential loading delays and later-than-normal transfers to the consolidation dock are expected.

Markon inspectors are observing epidermal blister starting to form on iceberg and romaine crops as a result of the latest ice events. We will continue to monitor and update you with the latest as quality challenges develop.

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
