Massachusetts II Potato Booster Push Aims At Home Purchases
Massachusetts state leaders urge buying potatoes locally to cut costs and aid farmers. An advisory memo from John Buckley cites 5.9 million pounds harvested in 1973 and more than 7 million last year, noting colleges and prisons may resist. Some institutions like Northampton State Hospital purchase mainly local fresh potatoes, while UMass Amherst reports heavy out of state purchases for processed products.
