Utah Early Potato Boom Brings Huge Payout to Farmers

About $300,000 has been paid to farmers around Ozilen in the last thirty days for the 1925 early potato crop. Returns rival wartime prices and are the largest on record aside from the war period. Some growers earned as high as $300 per acre, with prices from $2 to $2.35 per hundred pounds. The rise is due to a 100,000,000 bushel drop in the national yield and Utah sharing the early field with Idaho.
