Markon First Crop (MFC) Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuce yields will be harvested, yet limited, in California’s Salinas, Huron, and Oxnard growing regions; Markon Best Available will be substituted as needed. The Arizona-California desert season is winding down with approximately two weeks of production remaining. A small number of growers have begun production for row crop vegetables in Huron, Oxnard, and Salinas; supplies are more plentiful than this time last year, but some weather-related challenges exist. Some Salinas green leaf, iceberg, and romaine lettuce crops are affected with anthracnose, a fungal disease that thrives in cold/wet conditions. Harvesting crews will heavily trim or discard heads that are damaged which may impact yields.
