Lettuce & Greens for Southern Growers
This page gathers materials from our webinar on lettuce and specialty greens for southern growers, along with more resources on the topic from the Hensley's trials team.
OVERVIEW: Lettuce and greens don't like high heat. Our southern grower representatives share ways to handle heat-related problems, covering common issues, different production systems, and helpful tools and supplies.
They also cover lettuce and specialty greens varieties that have performed well in hot conditions.
You'll hear from farmers growing these crops in the South and get results from a recent University of Georgia lettuce trial.
- A greens farm in central Alabama
- A farm in northeast Georgia
- An educational ranch farm in Arkansas
- A family farm in western Tennessee
After the talk, our two trial technicians join the representatives to answer questions and talk through practices that help when the weather turns hot and muggy.
The talk lasts about an hour, followed by Q&A.
