Iceberg and romaine supplies continue to be extremely limited.

• Erratic weather patterns of extreme heat followed by rain have compounded quality issues
  • Bottom rot, fringe burn, mildew pressure, seeder, and sun scald are present in current lots
  • Fluctuating densities and extremely light weights are prevalent throughout the industry
• Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) and Sclerotinia disease pressure has forced suppliers to cut ahead of their scheduled harvests to minimize crop loss
• Expect elevated markets until transitions to Yuma, Arizona and California’s Imperial desert are completed in mid-November
