Ample supplies of green leaf and romaine persist, keeping markets low. Iceberg yields are adequate; demand has increased on the West Coast due to rain challenging the Eastern Seaboard growing areas.

Green Leaf and Romaine

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine is available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed
• Harvest crews are trimming heads to avoid insect damage, wind damage, and mildew
• Most lots continue to exhibit some internal burn issues
• Markets are expected to remain at low levels over the next 7-10 days

Iceberg

• MFC Premium Iceberg is currently being packed; MBA is being substituted as needed
• Harvest crews are culling heads with sclerotinia, bottom rot, and mildew
• Iceberg demand is focused strongly on the West Coast; extreme weather has hampered regional growing regions across the Eastern US and Canada
• Markets are expected to remain elevated through the first two weeks of August before easing as available acreage increases
