USDA Sets Guidelines For Potato Production
The USDA advises farmers to keep late summer potato acres steady with 1966 levels, cut early summer plantings by 4 percent, and reduce fall plantings by 6 percent to balance supply with demand. Total 1967 summer and fall production could reach 246.4 million hundredweight, about 7 percent below 1966. State acreages vary. Pennsylvania should hold at 3400 acres for late crops.
