New Crop
- MFC Onion growers in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington have begun harvesting
- Colorado- and Utah-grown onions will hit the market after the Labor Day weekend
- Healthy onion crops and strong yields are expected this upcoming storage season; weather has been excellent for growing up to this point
Summer Crop
