Helms Helps Yam Growers With 209000 More Cases For School Lunch
North Carolina senator Jesse Helms, critic of government purchases, announced the federal government will buy an additional 209000 cases of yams this year for school lunch programs. NC accounts for 40 percent of the national yam crop and favorable conditions boosted 1982 production by 14 percent, causing a large surplus and a 46 percent price drop last year. Growers seek new uses and markets while Helms promotes free enterprise agri policy. A May 25 USDA luncheon in Rocky Mount showcased Gold Chips, a new yam product, with Agriculture Secretary John Block in attendance. Helms chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee.
