Western prices weaker as potato trade shifts in Midwest
Western Nebraska potato shipments are light due to low buyer prices and cold weather. Washington growers push for compulsory state grading, backed by Turner-Pease Co., to raise standards and reduce unfit stock, with US standards guiding the plan. Chicago reports steadier market but lighter receipts and car shortages noted. North Platte lines show good trade with Julesburg and Kimball districts focusing on Bliss-Triumph spuds amid fields of cabbage and beets.
