Potato prospects loom up brightly in Kaw valley
Kaw valley potato farmers expect a profitable harvest in early July as new potatoes sell for 4 to 4.25 per hundredweight and old potatoes at 3.25 to 3.50. Prices have jumped up to 1.35 in two weeks due to light supplies and rains in Louisiana Texas and California. Eastern markets may pull from the west if eastern fertilizer shortages persist. Digging will likely start late due to vine growth, but overall crop outlook remains good with ample moisture and few Colorado beetles.
