situation is going to have to
get better,” Noah Jr.
commented. Referring to an
article appearing in the Wall
Street Journal recently, he
observed that the 1975 crop is
considerably smaller than
last year’s and potato
futures are rising rapidly.
His observation has ap
parently been correct.
Within the past week, futures
prices for Maine potatoes
have risen by nearly a dollat
per cwt. Kreider described
the market as “very active.”
The Wall Street Journal
did indeed report “potato
prices may be heading
sharply higher.” This is said
to be the result of the revised
government crop reports
which were released on
August 11. Those statistics
revealed much lower figures
than what had been posted
previously. Aside from
potato farmers growing

Kreider predicts that
potato growers in the South
will cut back even more than
they have so far because
they’re finding out there’s
more money in corn and
soybeans than spuds. He
noted that region had a bad
crop this year due to un
favorable weather.
Specifically, the govern
ment’s crop report indicated
that nine percent fewer
potatoes will be harvested
this year as compared to
last. A total of 1,050,000 acres
are reportedly planted in
potatoes, with the first of the
crop hitting the pots and
pans now.
In addition to the Kreiders’
