Bonus question: Fresh produce moved more pounds than year-ago levels, with July produce sales at $6.2 billion. Produce sales benefitted from investment in price, plus retailers spotlighting the role in grilling, from campaigns on ‘how to grill veggies’ to on-pack ‘great for the grill’ stickers.

- Yes (53.8%)
- No (30.8%)
- Other (write in) (15.4%)
Looks like the vast majority of you saw produce sales on the rise in July.
