Sales in the.....

The last few weeks of summer are the pits in the fresh veg industry.  It's a combination of the gardens in many peoples' back yard supplying the neighborhood, California pushing to clean their overloaded coolers and quality problems which inevitably catch up with regional shippers.  The result is the pits as far as sales go.  Unfortunately, instead of taking a vacation, salesmen have to work twice as hard this time of year just to stay even.  The bottom line is we need to change the calendar to Sept. first and write August off.
