Firecracker promotions

One of the biggest summer produce selling weeks lays ahead of us. Here in Kansas City, the food ads dated June 27 have been released. Here is a window to the world of Midwest produce promotions. Lots of watermelon, but not as much sweet corn action as I would have predicted. Disney/Ito mango nectarines have a couple of spotlighted promotions. Both blueberries and cherries check in at hotter prices.
