I have been looking at the month-to-month leading traffic generators among the news stories on The Packer’s website, and today’s Fresh Talk post considers the flaming hot news of July.
For links to the other months of this coverage, check out June Boom.
While the writers and editors of The Packer post several hundred stories each month, the stories identified here drew the most interest and page views for July 2019.
Here is the July list:

The consumer media of fresh produce is worth following every day, and here are a few selections from July 2019 that caught my gaze:
