Did you know four states control nearly 75% of the watermelon production in the U.S.? Florida sits at the top with a stake of 30%, while Georgia, California and Texas make up the next 44%. Helena reps from South Texas join this FieldLink Podcast episode to detail how the Lone Star State feeds nearly the whole central part of the country this delicious fruit. To help make sure your Fourth of July fruit spread is top tier, we sit down with 2024 Georgia Watermelon Association Brand Ambassador Maycey Kight for her insight on picking the perfect watermelon. Jody Lawrence discusses how the commodity market will react to the heavy rains and flooding taking place in the northern Corn Belt.
