Markets Hold Steady As Sweet Potatoes Rise
Market notes show no broad changes with groceries stocked and steady grain and meat sectors. Sweet potatoes climb to 1.20 per bushel as supply tightens. California Belleflower apples ship to Muscatine. Reports from grain centers warn of potential wheat price spikes due to dry southwest weather and rising winter wheat acreage. Hog supply remains short across the country with lighter weights, constraining pork and lard output.
