Island Melon Patrol Boosts Muscatine Produce Season
Farmers in Muscatine and Louisa counties form a 40 deputized patrol each summer to oversee melon shipments. Muscatine island cantaloupes and watermelons gain wide renown as the season nears, with tons moving to melon fans across a broad area. Some melons arrive before market openings, though flavor may vary from vine-ripened varieties. The harvest period, eagerly anticipated, signals the start of the melon rush that can’t come soon enough.
