Shortage of Potatoes Hits Muscatine County
Muscatine County faces a potato shortage with 80 percent of winter needs to be shipped from Minnesota and other northern states. Late crops failed due to rainfall, prices rising from 50 cents to potentially 75 cents per bushel, while early crops were plentiful but consumed first. Northern grown potatoes will fill demand through next summer as merchants import from Minnesota’s prairie lands.
