Old potatoes staged a comeback this week in Grand Rapids Michigan with new crop prices upward to six dollars a barrel. Demand for stored old stock in Greenville and nearby centers pushed bids to 50 to 60 cents a bushel as canning wild blackberry crop damage from drought and fire impacts nearby Cadillac Michigan.
Reports from Illinois apple regions indicate a severe freeze damage last spring, with Calhoun and surrounding counties near failure. Observers project about 15 percent of last year’s crop statewide, with some counties down to 5 percent and only a few cars for shipment.
Apple crop conditions vary by locality with forecasts around 25 to 50 percent of last year. Leading varieties include Stayman, Black Twig, Winesap, Kinnaird, and Ben Davis. Nearby stations Ozark and New Brunswick ship a few apples while local supplies stay for use at home. Omitted details indicate regional notes from Creal Springs, Williamson County and Clay County with continued coverage on page SAAT.
