Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are fairly steady at low levels. Demand remains moderate due to inclement weather impacting much of the country.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Romaine is sporadic; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed due to low weights after trimming outer leaves with epidermal blister and peel defects at harvest
• MFC Premium Green Leaf and Iceberg Lettuce are available
• Following January’s freezing temperatures, February’s warmer weather has increased field weights but resulted in quality challenges in some lots
  • Epidermal blistering and peeling are present in many lots, primarily affecting romaine
  • Inconsistent plant growth has reduced harvestable yields in current and upcoming fields
  • Insect pressure will continue to rise with warm weather in the upper 80s to low 90s forecast through next week
• Despite these issues, ample supplies and depressed markets are forecast through February, at minimum
