Today lets start with onions. One word..HOT! The market on white & red onions is wild. While the whites have been able to command $44-$55 depending on loading location at least you can load at will. The reds however have increased in price to $12-$15 dep[ending on location but hard as heck to get load volumes. Yellows have stagnated a bit and we might start to see some motivated sellers. SWEET POTATOES....Market is good with strong prices and low inventories in Louisiana & Mississippi. North Carolina has good supply of one's and two's but be wary of the Jumbo availability in the short term. POTATOES...Tis the season for reds with St. Patty's day quickly approaching. Make sure to have your red bees booked in ahead but I wouldn't expect anyone to get shorted since there is a good supply of bees this year in both ND and FL. Reds in Florida are looking sharp. Regarding whites the CA gang should be gapping for a month which puts the pressure on FL to keep us all supplied. Watch for higher prices? Russets are, how should we say......available. Slow market and deals being made on non aye. Cartons and two's are in demand but sheds are running slower due to the sleepiness on the packages. TRUCKS... plenty looking for loads. Give us a call for any information you need on the current markets and availablity.
