Mandujano Brothers Produce hit by floods slashing cantaloupe harvest
The Mandujano brothers say floods damaged about 250 acres of cantaloupe along the Pecos River near Coyanosa, risking a 10 million pound loss and delaying planting by 70 days. They may cut seasonal workers from 120 to far fewer as demand shifts and insurance covers little. Early fruit may be sold by August, with shortages likely.
