The Packer reported today that the Vidalia onion crop this year is looking very good. They report that “after early-season rain thinned some stands, recent near-ideal growing conditions have raised expectations for the start of the Vidalia onion season in April.”
Good weather in March has helped speed the development of the crop and kept disease pressure low. The crop is expected to be good in both quality and size. The official pack start date is expected to be April 25, the usual date for starting the packing season.
