Produce Update
Watermelon Buyers:
Seedless:
Our new field is producing 65% size 5 (45 count) which is double the percentage the picks of the last 10 days. We have a large quantity of 5s. Our price for Size 5 and Size 4 is 16 cents/lb to help those who need same. The very popular 60 count remains at 18 cents/lb and we have standing orders for this count of Red seedless for the rest of the day with a (2 cent Chep/no 9# melon surcharge) special 60 count pack at two-dimes/lb...We may have availability of the 60 count tomorrow.
Yellow Flesh:
Annie and I adjusted the Yellow flesh down 5 cents/lb across the board(see price list)to reflect the volume we expect in the new field and allow steady movement of this colorful melon.
Baby/Mini:
Annie lowered the price on the Baby/Mini size 6 and size 7 to help those who use same. Today we will see if our new field has the popular smaller sizes...
Regular Seeded :
They are cutting red and sweet!
Don't forget to load the Peppers and Onions with the Melons.

Produce Buyers,
Watermelons: The market is very steady at this time and we don't have any price changes this week. We will open a new field near Wasco late today and will have first cut Regular Seeded available in Car-lot quantities. We may have larger supplies of 60 count which have been scarce in the fields we have been picking this week.
Yellows and Baby/Minis: will be plentiful on this first cut field. If you have volume orders of 1/4 carlot or more for the exotics ask for special pricing.
Mix your orders of Watermelons with Peppers and Onions to save time and money.
