A Michigan asparagus grower says in a matter of days prices can crash once importers decide to interrupt the domestic market.
“It can create a lot of havoc in a short time, I’m talking days, two or three days can make all the difference in the world.”
Harvest is underway in one the nation’s largest growing regions, Oceana County right alongside Lake Michigan, and grower Tom Oomen tells Brownfield he’s been harvesting stalks on and off for about a month, but markets are already under pressure.
