Pricey onions spark tears and higher costs nationwide
Across the United States onion prices surge after crop losses from Hurricane Agnes. Stores report sharp rises from two pounds for 29 cents to 49 cents per pound, with chains in California and Texas raising costs and restaurants warning they may go out of business without relief.
