Potato Prices to Jump With New Federal Tax
Avold and county agent Horace E. Abbott warn that potatoes will rise 11 to 15 cents per peck or about 45 percent after a 3/4 cent per pound tax starts with the 1936 crop. Tax funds pay farmers to reduce acreage under AAA contracts, limiting supply and boosting prices. Farm relief stamps may be issued to signers with reduced acreage.
