Potato Growers Seek Marketing Programs Amid Big Harvest
Potato growers in several major U S regions urge the marketing division of the AAA to run marketing agreements to sell only high quality tubers and exclude culls. A 1930s era plan aims to stabilize prices, curb fluctuations, and encourage continued cultivation despite large crops and low consumer prices. Ohio production is forecast near 12 million bushels with U S output around 2.5 billion, signaling potential market impacts for local buyers and growers. The cycle of large crops, low prices, and market correction faces the industry as it evaluates these proposed controls.
