Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are fairly steady at low levels. Demand is slowly increasing; however, abundant supplies are keeping prices weak.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available  
• Temperatures have normalized this week, following consistent lettuce ice events in January and unseasonably warm weather in February
  • Strong winds are present in the Arizona/California desert regions this week; increased fringe burn and elevated levels of dirt may be found in some packs
  • Winds are forecast to calm this weekend; lettuce ice may impact some fields over the weekend as temperatures drop once again
• Insect pressure continues to be a concern following February’s warm weather; increased presence is expected through the duration of the Yuma season as fewer and fewer mature fields become available
• Arizona/California desert production will begin to wind down in late March and conclude by early April
• Some growers will begin harvesting in Huron, California by mid- to late March
• The Salinas season will begin in early to mid-April
