Potatoes from Canada Create New USDA Price Challenge
The U S Department of Agriculture faces a new headache as Canada could flood the market with surplus potatoes. Canadian producers have about 15 million bushels excess, risking undercutting the U S price and affecting Maine seed potato markets. The government has bought over 44 million bushels of the 1948 U S crop for surplus, with total purchases expected near 70 million by season's end.
