Gentlemen,
Reporting from the Oxnard district, cool temps over the weekend and also forecasted for the front part of week, will keep the volume from increasing this week, will probably see a decrease instead. We are expecting rain Wednesday, harvest will more than likely be curtailed, will be back in the fields Thursday. The fruit is not coloring as quickly as we would like, we are also experiencing some blocks of the field showing a lot of misshapen and crooked fruit due the strong winds we had several weeks ago when the fields were in heavy bloom. So this week and the next few days following, we will spent some time in the fields cleaning off the "bad" fruit, either putting them into the ditch or juice. Green tips and occasional misshapen fruit will be seen in some containers. The fields still show a decent crop still to come, with a string of good weather we will be right back into good volume.
Sincerely,
Steven Yamamoto
