• Growers cannot harvest fruit when orchards are wet
  • If picked when wet, the rind will break down and discoloration will develop
  • Mud and standing water may limit crews’ ability to get equipment into orchards
  • Markon has requested that suppliers pack ahead of this rain event
• Current quality is excellent and supplies are adequate
