Don't forget to breathe.....

As the crazy high markets on onions start to come down it is going to be very important for buyers to not forget to breathe! When you buy at $50 and 10 minutes later it's $45 this could cause the most seasoned buyer hold his breathe and then forget he is holding his breathe as it hits $40.00 5 minutes after that. Lets recap..
ONIONS - Texas has some motivated shippers with heavy volumes available and southern CA starting up. Jumbo whites have fallen off their chair and yellows are trickling southward. Reds however remain strong as volume is low. Keep buying heavy but sell fast. Contracts are now beeing accepted in ID for the next season so call us to get posted on what they are priced at. You will be blown away!
POTATOES - Russets moving along with normal flow from most areas this time of year. Big sizes are in big demand the market keeps getting stronger as the days go by. Small bag prices are stagnant and there are motivated sellers abound. Good time to run some ads. Whites and YUkons are HOT as florida is cleaned up. This is will be the hot potato item for some time. Not much will be available in N.Florida and CA is digging up small size and low yields. Reds are about to be the buffet item. Starting next week you will have ND,CA, AZ, S.FL and N.FL all shipping reds. But for now bees do not exist and ayes are plentiful.

Have a great week.
