Iceberg Lettuce - The persistent wet, cold and windy conditions of April and early May stubbornly continue into late May. Lettuce shippers said they are six to seven days behind schedule. This means they were harvesting lettuce May 19 that was designed to be ready six to seven days earlier. The pending cold temperatures the weekend of May 22- 23 will likely put shippers a total of 10 days behind schedule. Yields remain as low as 700 cartons per acre compared to the expected 900 to 1,000. The number of acres ready for harvest is temporarily on the rise. Shippers predict that planting gaps from the winter rains and the cold spring will result in a roller coaster of product availability through June and into July. Quality is improving, but we can still expect uneven head size and light weights. Today's woes of light weights and limited availability are outweighed by very light demand. The overall market is reacting modestly lower and could regain traction when Memorial Day ads begin May 21-24.

Lemons - Oxnard is producing the majority of California's fruit followed distantly by the Central Valley. The quality of the California crop is very good with a fairly wide selection of sizes. Prices are steady for now, but it's just a matter of time before the lemon market begins to steadily push higher to meet the rising summer demand.

Strawberries - Our Watsonville and Salinas strawberry shippers offer decent supplies of high- quality fruit. The color is bright, and berry sizing is large. The persistent string of cold temperatures has curbed production and held the market steady at current levels. Shippers said that the pending Memorial Day pull will tighten market supplies and pressure the open market higher. The overall strawberry market will not ease noticeably until the weather breaks the pattern of temperatures 10-20 degrees below seasonal levels. There is no immediate relief in sight as the forecast for the weekend calls for daytime highs in the low 60s.
