Growers report minimal crop damage after last weekend’s storm.

Harvest disruptions occurred during the front part of this week due to muddy/wet fields
Supply levels are rebounding; however, cooler weather will keep yields low
Markets for bell peppers, squash, and tomatoes have risen in Mexico; demand has increased as Florida supplies have tightened
Expect higher temperatures next week and a return to normal production
