Wisconsin potato inspectors push marketing law prosecutions
Defendants pled guilty in six cases tests of the new state marketing law. The Department of Markets filed further prosecutions in Burnett Oneida and Columbia counties for potato shippers lacking inspection before sale. A Minnesota shipper case questions the department its power to apply state grades to interstate shipments. A Milwaukee market dealers convention endorsed the grading and inspection service by a wide margin. Wisconsin potatos fetch higher prices at terminal markets partly due to few rejections and the official grade certificate.
