Clouds around my ankles?

Well the sky has fallen on the historical onion market so much that the clouds are around my ankles. Potato prices have also calmed down and now we can get down to business. Lets recap.

POTATOES:
Russets are steady as they go in Idaho. 60's and large still tight but 2's and small spuds readily available. Wisconsin is winding down and are still shipping good quality at this time. Whites are in season in CA and look very nice. Yukons also shipping from CA and the price is down a bit from last week and will continue to adjust into next week as more guys go online with heavy volume. Reds...practically every state. CA, AZ, FL, TX and ND are all shipping. My pick for best color is AZ and best value would be FL. Value meaning where color and price meet appropriately.

SWEET POTATOES:
Tight..quantities are getting slim so be patient.

ONIONS:
South TX is trying to clean up with lots of volume availble which has caused a sloppy market. At the same time southern CA also has heavy vloume and is looking for orders. West TX is starting next week and we will see where this thing is headed. Right now it almost seems buyers can name their prices and shippers are grudgingly accepting. We will see what happens when TX cleans up.

Have a tremendous day.
