Yuma with Ice
Yuma with Ice
Wed, Jan 10th, 2024
Dear Ole Tyme Customers:
Weather Alert:
We have another ice delay this morning in Yuma. Some shippers today will not start harvesting until 11am.
Expectations:
- Less product hitting the coolers with later harvest times and shorter daylight hours
- Some harvest crews not starting until 11am today.
- Quality issues in the next few weeks will be prevalent with the current frost damage and ice delays this week.
- For the next few weeks, expect blister, epidermal peel, and freeze burn on leaf and lettuce.
- Shelf life and texture will be affected after these freezing temperatures, especially on tender leaf items.
- Expect lighter weights as harvesters will peal back the outer leaves to clean up quality in the fields.
