Cantaloupe Shipments Cut as Valley Market Tones Turn
About 1600 cars of Imperial Valley cantaloupes have shipped this season. A June meeting in Brawley among five distributors and growers, with Southern Pacific supervision, discussed halting shipments for 2–3 days to clear stock and improve market tone. A tacit understanding aims to reduce daily output to 11–40 cars, urging packing of fancy stock only.
