Regional Production Highlights - Week of February 26th:

The Arizona–California desert season (especially Yuma) is running about three weeks ahead of schedule due to early rain and sustained warm weather.

Crops matured faster than expected, reducing the usual late February and March supply cushion. While harvests are steady, yields are lighter than average and there is little true surplus despite soft national demand.

Crop Update

• Iceberg: Availability improving.

• Romaine: Most plentiful item; strong quality and color.

• Green Leaf: Steady supply but sensitive to any spike in demand.

• Brussels Sprouts: Supply improving; markets easing.

• Broccoli: Tight supply due to reduced Mexican volume and earlier desert weather impacts.

• Celery: Supply steady but pricing remains elevated.

• Green Onions: One of the most challenged items; winter seed and weather issues reducing yields and sizing. Smaller sizes expected for several more weeks.

Weather

• Florida: Frost midweek in North/Central regions; rain Friday–Saturday with lingering showers Sunday; winds 15–20 mph.

• California: Light showers Wednesday; warming to mid-60s–low 80s before cooling slightly Sunday.

• Arizona: Temperatures rising into the 90s–100s by Friday; cooling trend begins Sunday; morning lows mid-50s to mid-60s.

• Mexico: Warmer mornings; highs mid-70s–low 80s; no rain expected over the next five days.
