Met with Tom Mara and Dave Thomas. Both are ready for cherries from the NW, especially considering what is happening in CA. Dave mentioned that he is a little concerned about the larger euro box that it looks like some shippers will be using for the gusseted bags. He is concerned that it will cause confusion in the marketplace with different pricing structures. He said that he hopes that the industry will decide on one container and it will be used by everyone. His customers are quoted from the Boston and NY markets too and he wants to make sure they are comparing the same packages. He prefers the 18# to the larger package because some of their smaller retailers really cannot use the larger box.
Remind when the payout is due, so they don't miss the deadline.
