Potato Acreage Will Be Larger In 1930
Preliminary reports indicate U S potato acreage to be about 3 570 000 acres for 1930, nearly six percent more than 1929 harvested. If planted and yields stay on trend, US production could reach about 421 million bushels, with farm price comparisons shown against 1924 and 1929 levels. Growers in most states plan larger plantings, especially in early sections, while many large commercial growers in 1929 plan reductions.
