Potatoes key to U S food supply and exports
The National Department of Agriculture compares U S potato land and yields with Germany noting eight million acres in Germany versus three and a half million in the United States and yields of 202.5 versus 96.6 bushels per acre. The Louisville Courier-Journal cites the potato as essential to family meals and cost of living. It urges boosting home production and even exporting surplus, estimating that five states planting 12.5 percent of arable land could produce 1.558 billion bushels, over four times current output.
