LETTUCE: Supplies are projected to be lighter than normal due to the cold weather. Lighter weights and lower pounds per acre are predicted. Quality has been very good with the current weather situation. Demand has been higher than normal. The market is currently active and will continue to improve.
GREEN BEANS: Prices are up. Previous cold weather is delaying the harvesting transition and resulting in low plant yields.

APPLES: Quality overall is still very good. The small sizes remain tight. Market price remains firm on small fruit as local schools take most of the volume.
