Markets continue to climb in the Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys amid incoming rains and persistent quality issues. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are limited; packer label is being substituted.

• Supplies are extremely limited in Monterey County (Salinas Valley) and Santa Barbara County (Santa Maria and Lompoc Valley)
• Rain is expected in the Salinas Valley early this week; quality issues will increase, minimizing yields
• Quality is fair; rainstorms followed by a slight warming trend over the weekend will lead to excessive seeder (long internal stem), especially in jumbo sizes
• Diamondback moth pupa/larvae continue to reduce harvestable yields
• Expect higher pricing and limited availability for the next 7-10 days, at least
