Planting is active. Quality is good. Supplies are fair. Acreage protected from the recent cold with freeze covers is in fair condition. Unprotected plants are dead.
Planting is steady with some producers replanting lost acreage.
Crop condition is mostly good for plants in the mid-growth stage. Warmer temperatures are aiding fruit development. Older plants not protected from the recent freeze show some wind damage. Picking of a very light volume is active. Quality and color are good with fancy and medium grades available.
