Markon Cooperative BB #:123315 released this field report March 20, 2025:
The forecast calls for a heatwave in the Arizona/California desert growing region.
Temperatures will climb into the mid-80°s through the weekend and may reach triple digits by Wednesday, March 26.
Growers will adjust harvesting schedules and pack ahead to avoid peak temperatures as much as possible. Markon inspectors will be closely evaluating commodity and value-added desert row crops while working with suppliers to minimize heat-related challenges.
Markon First Crop (MFC) Lettuce items will become difficult to attain as the desert season winds down; Markon Best Available (MBA) will be substituted as needed.
Please contact your Markon Account Manager for more information.
