Disasterous season for truck farmers in Virginian-Pilot report
A Virginian-Pilot interview with a leading railway official confirms a disastrous season for truck farmers. Potatoes, the largest crop, plummeted from 2.50–3.50 per barrel last year to 0.75–1.25 now, wiping out profits and forcing some growers to abandon shipping and rot crops in the field. Prices for tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus, spinach, kale, and strawberries fluctuated, with late berries yielding poor returns due to drought and cold. Farmers expect to cover bills from potato profits but have not, underscoring the season’s harsh economics.
