Storage Crop
- Large sizes (40- through 70-count stocks) are tight; 90- through 100-count stocks are adequate
- Quality remains excellent for both varieties; pack-outs favor No. 1 quality, with limited No. 2 availability

- Limited Burbank stocks are expected to ship through mid- to late July
New Crop
- New crop planting normally gets underway in mid-April
- Snow could delay plantings in some regions
- Growers are hoping to see spring-like weather in April in order to plant the crop by May
