New Potato Rates Take Effect June 3 Locally
Readjusted freight rates ordered by the interstate commerce commission will place Kansas jobbers on parity with Kansas City district prices starting June 3. Kansas City distributors gain about five cents per 100 pounds while Kansas jobbers save about six cents. The Kaw Valley notate growers benefit as seed potato freight bills drop by about ten thousand dollars annually, and retail prices may fall. West of the Missouri river, rates for potatoes are now leveled mile for mile with eastern points, aiding local shippers to bid evenly on markets with Kansas City.
