Kansans Plan to Break Denver Price Trick, Boost Local Markets
Kansas farmers push a plan to undercut Denver by selling Kansas products through a new retail outlet. Reports claim Greeley potatoes may fetch 50 cents a hundred in Denver while Memphis moves cut the price by 12 cents a hundred for Greeley produce. Denver grocers and commissioners face opposition as price comparisons show cheaper Kansas goods, with turkey eggs and butter at lower Kansas rates. The piece notes looming storage surpluses and hints at a water reservoir scheme linked to drainage drains and reserved water supply in Weld County near Sterling, aiming to deliver water to buyers at set rates.
