been up before dawn checking prices and buying produce Much of the produce flowing out of Nogales (Uribe says it is valued at $150 million to $180 million in an average year) winds up on the West Coast But it was obvious yesterday that the markets shared with the Florida producers are far-flung LeCompte and his wife were headed for Baltimore The truck Astern was checking out was expected to pull into New York last night Uribe probably would have been pleased to know Astern was back in town for another buying season He represents the Bee Produce Co of Pompano Beach a city in Florida
