Idaho Potatoes See Another Advance at Loading Points
Idaho loading points report another market advance as demand rose against a backdrop of slower January shipments. Despite forecasts, potato loadings did not surge, while liberal movement to California and Arizona reduced stock available to central and eastern buyers. Prices for bulk stock rose as buyers sought supplies from growers. Idaho shipments remain about 5 000 cars ahead of last year, with many storages depleted since New Year. Snow and freezing temps slowed hauling in parts of the state and elsewhere, though Idaho traffic remained comparatively tight.
