I met with James Kimber. I let James know our Midwest rep has been communicating with Kroger corporate. He appreciated all the information we have this year. He had heard the NW will have a huge crop and they will plan on running cherry ads every week.

The California crop has been awful and they have not run any ad this year. I visited one of their store the night before the meeting and they did not have any cherries. The produce clerk brought out a case of rainier cherries. I tried a few and they were just ok in regards to taste. He like our estimate recaps and is looking forward to the next update.
