Please click here to view a Markon Live from the Fields video regarding current iceberg and leaf lettuce supplies from the Huron, California growing region.

• A small number of suppliers are now harvesting iceberg and leaf lettuce in the Huron region
• Desert supplies will remain available through the week of April 7, but Salinas will become a bigger player starting next week
• Current iceberg supplies in Huron are exhibiting high weights and strong quality; Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Iceberg Lettuce is available
• Leaf lettuces such as romaine and green leaf are struggling with elevated insects at the base of the heads (mostly small black gnats)
• Harvesting crews will be trimming heavily to reduce insects, but cannot eliminate them all
• It is highly recommended to thoroughly rinse and inspect field-packed lettuce items from the desert and the Huron regions due to the ongoing insect pressure
• Markon inspectors are monitoring conditions in all key transitional growing areas and will continue to update as needed
