Roy Campbell of the Southern Texas Truck Growers association warns that ongoing rain across Texas will ruin or devalue up to 40 percent of this year’s onion crop still awaiting harvest. Onions soaking on wet ground risk rot before delivery to northern and eastern markets, though about 60 percent has sold at good prices. Northern wholesalers seek thousands of crates as prices rise 10 cents per crate.
