Growers expect steady supplies in shift from Florida to Georgia
In mid-September, Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos. Inc. began harvesting its squash and cucumbers near Moultrie, Ga., followed by eggplant. It started harvesting bell peppers in early October, said Adam Lytch, operations manager.
“That will carry us on for several more weeks,” he said Oct. 4. “We are to start Oct. 10 in north Florida with squash and eggplant, with bell pepper beginning around the end of October. We expect a smooth transition on all items.”
