Seed Potato Trade Across Stevens and Yakima Valleys
Investigations by John H. Kruse note Yakima valley ignorance of Stevens county seed potatoes and the growing seed market. About 15 000 cars are grown in Yakima yearly with 800 cars of seed imported this season. Growers pay around 50 per ton, seed sold to members at 50 by the Yakima Farm Bureau, with some sellers at 60 to 65. Stevens county seed must be well managed and publicized to win a share of the valley market.
