USDA Sets Guidelines
For Potato Production
The U. S Department of Ag
riculture has recommended that
growers of late summer pota
toes plant the same number of
acres in 19C7 as they did last
year.
USDA also suggested that
total plantings of early summer
potatoes be i educed 4 percent
from last year’s level, and the
fall crop potato plantings be
reduced 6 percent to match
supplies with expected needs.
USDA’s Consumer and Mar
keting Service issues acreage
marketing guides to help grow
ers plan production. C&MS
market analysts said that if
production is in line with the
guide for the coming season,
and if marketings follow a nor
mal time pattern, supplies
should be in balance with con
sumer needs
The combined 1967 summer
and fall production of potatoes
suggested by the guides would
total 246.4 million hundred
weight, 7 percent less than in
1966
The acreage guides recom
mend 1,023,035 acres for fall
harvest, 86,020 acres for early
summer harvest, and 142,600
acres for late summer harvest.
Acreage recommendations for
individual states range from
the same acreages planted ih
1966 to 15 percent reductions
from last year.
