Fridays....

Looks like the lettuce crops are still showing problems left over from the last heat wave.  The iceberg in commercial fields has excessive bottom rot from the increased humidity after the recent rains which unfortunately did not break the heat wave we were experiencing.  Combined with the rain, the heat caused the rot, which has cut yields.   Other crops are also hurting from the lack of moisture earlier.  Spinach and cilantro yields are down and prices are still only so-so.  The lack of markets are almost as distressing as the yield problems.  As the season winds down, we all need a big hit to pull us even or into the black.  Let's hope we get it.
