The Arizona/California desert growing region continues to experience the coldest week of the winter growing season; widespread moderate-to-heavy lettuce ice is developing this morning.

Harvesting delays of three to four hours have been reported for most desert row crop items. Loading delays are anticipated all week.

Markon inspectors are monitoring supplies and field conditions and will update further as needed.
