Potatoes Set 1947 Production Goal 373 Million Bushels
The Agriculture Department announced a 1947 potato production goal of 373 million bushels, 72 million above the 1946 crop? The goal is based on a national acreage of 2,631,000 with 283,000 acres for early commercial crop and ties price support to growers within their acreage quotas under the Steagall amendment.
