The growing season transition from the desert region to California’s Salinas Valley has been extremely challenging. Multiple atmospheric rivers and two major flooding events in January & March caused widespread crop and farm infrastructure damage. Over the past 2-3 weeks, we have been experiencing the results of disrupted planting schedules and cold temperatures that hindered growth. Supplies have been tight and plant maturity has not been ideal, causing light case weights. A recent light rain event followed by warmer temperatures this week and next week is helping to promote growth and improve the supply outlook. Markon inspectors expect to see more Markon First Crop availability over the next few weeks.
