Red River Valley potato surplus fades with rising prices
Fargo North Dakota reports a shrinking potato surplus in the Red River Valley as prices rise. Mid May best Red River Reds sold on the Minneapolis market at 2.75 to 3.25 dollars a hundredweight, rising by early June to 3.75 to 4.25. North Dakota prices also climbed from 67 to 92 cents per hundred pounds by mid May to mid April. Experts predict the crop will average between 1952 and 1953 outcomes with fewer oversupplies, while government buying and feed use reduced surplus. Farmers cut back in southern areas by about 25 percent and quality is now emphasized to ease market pressure.
