Iceberg prices have leveled, following sharp declines over the past two weeks. Romaine and green leaf markets remain fairly steady.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed
• Supplies of all head lettuces vary from grower to grower as they manage remaining acreage in the Arizona-California desert
  • Industry supplies are heavier this week, compared to recent weeks, as mature fields bunch together following warmer temperatures over the past 10 days
  • The Arizona-California desert season will conclude in late March
• Florida supplies have largely recovered from recent freezing temperatures; head weights are slightly lower as crews trim damage from outer leaves
• Mexican stocks are ample (crossing into South Texas)
• The short, four- to five-week Huron season is scheduled to start the week of March 16, with additional growers beginning harvest the week of March 23
• Salinas Valley production will begin in late March and continue ramping up into mid-April
• Although markets are currently weaker, elevated prices and limited supplies are forecast until Salinas production is fully underway
