Potato Growers Face No Price Increase This Spring
Mercker told county agents and potato growers that weaker consumer purchasing power will prevent higher potato prices next spring. He noted past freezes and drought lowered early potato yields and predicted larger overall production in seven states. Competition from old potato crops will remain strong, making price advances unlikely. Fall planting intentions suggest a 14 percent cut in early to intermediate varieties, while late potato prices remain near record lows at about 34.4 cents per bushel in October.
