Weather shock spurs cautious fruit outlook in Louisville
A sudden overnight cold snap in Louisville last week changed the fruit season, threatening buds and a potential loss if mild weather had persisted. Experts in local producing districts remain hopeful for a good fruit mix this year, with only the Winese variety showing notable damage. The Louisville produce intake firm kept prices steady despite the shift, while demand lengthened and lines of beef or corn cleared at standard prices. Potatoes in Jette street market fell to 47e due to surplus, though overall market conditions meet expectations.
