Please click here to view a Markon Live from the Fields video highlighting the benefits of MFC 24ct Artisan Romaine during periods of erratic weather that impacts most other leafy greens.
- MFC Romaine is available; Markon Best Available is being substituted in some lots due to quality challenges
- Multiple recent weather events including freezing temperatures and above-normal rainfall have caused quality challenges for desert row crops
- Commodity romaine has been one of the most heavily impacted with issues such as:
-
- Bottom rot and/or decay
- Decreased case weights
- Epidermal blisters
- Discolored epidermal peeling
- Harvesting crews are working hard to remove or minimize defects, these are industry-wide problems
- MFC Artisan Romaine has held up incredibly well to the erratic weather
-
- This item can be a good substitution while we weather the romaine challenges in February
- Color, size, and shape are very consistent
- Quality is excellent with little or no weather-related defects in finished packs
