potato producing acreage in
the last ten years.
“Potato production in
Lancaster and York
Counties provides 5.1 million
dollars to the local
economy,” said C. Eugene'
Wingert, Regional Director
for the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture.
“By buying Pennsylvania
potatoes we will be keeping
valuable farmland in
production and providing the
local economy with much
needed Pennsylvania
dollars. We will also be
assuring consumers of
econmical food, high in
nutritional value, despite
transportation problems
caused by the current
energy shortage.”
Pennsylvania is the
largest potato chip
processing state m the
nation. In the future Penn
sylvania consumers will also
be able to easily spot and buy
Pennsylvania’s potato chips
marked with the new logo.
Last week Governor Dick
Thornburgh declared
February as “Potato
Lovers’ Month.”
