Crop conditions remain in fair to good shape. Good foliage, set, and quality in the fields are nearing maturity. Crown picks are providing large sized fruit and good quality. Some of the second picks were accelerating in maturity, and are being harvested with good quality and variable sizes. A few fields were walked through for the best of the third picks and then stopped.
Fruit continues to show rapid ripening on some varieties.
Fields that will be near crown picks in the next few weeks are showing good set and sizing up of the fruit. Workers are removing stakes, string, and plastic from harvested fields. Crop condition is fair. Plant growth and fruit setting are fair. Harvest is steady but slowing.
