Live From the Fields: Desert Growing Region Lettuce

Watch the latest Markon Live from the Fields video regarding current supplies of iceberg lettuce being shipped from the Arizona/California desert growing region. Markon inspectors are seeing the effects of recent erratic weather, including uneven head size and fluctuating density. Liner lettuce case weights are ranging from 36 to 42 pounds; Markon First Crop is being substituted with Markon Best Available. Expect these issues to persist through the rest of the desert growing season and as the industry transitions to the Huron and Salinas Valley growing regions.
