Iceberg markets are inching up; supplies are tighter than in prior weeks and field weights are lower following the harvesting transition from the Arizona-California desert region to the Santa Maria and Salinas Valleys. Green leaf and romaine markets are steady to slightly higher.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed due to low weights
• Production is winding down in Huron, California; final iceberg harvests will take place the week of April 20
• Iceberg and romaine production will continue in Oxnard through early May
• The Salinas and Santa Maria seasons are ramping up
  • Many initial fields are uneven in size and density due to inconsistent growing conditions
  • Weights are increasing week to week
• Mexican-grown iceberg and romaine are also available, loading in South Texas year-round; peak production will continue through May
