• Quality is good despite some rain-related challenges
• The North Carolina season will start next week
• Expect lower yellow squash yields due to Tropical Storm Debby

Midwest

California

• The Santa Maria growing region has seen cooler weather which has reduced yields and delayed transition to their third harvest of the summer season
