Box Butte Spuds to See Half Crop This Season
The Alliance News reports Box Butte county will harvest about half a crop of potatoes due to reduced certified seed acreage and lower yields. Minnesota Early Ohios fetch $1.10 to $1.25 per cwt on the Chicago market. A single selling head will set minimum prices for all certified seed, with a directors board from area counties meeting in Hemingford this week. Farmers form a certified seed growers association to fix prices and exclude uncertified seed.
