Markets a soaring...

Well this isn't pretty so let's get through it quickly. POTATOES....RUSSETS - Markets in Idaho on non-aye are still flat with the carton market on the rise. Sheds are not at full speed since they do not have enough business on non-aye. REDS-Florida where have you gone?! All of a sudden red ayes are hard to get and the markets are gaining ground on new crop reds. Sangre variety are still available in ND with weaker color but fair prices. WHITES - Florida at sunstantial prices and no repreive till CA comes back in (2weeks from now). YUKONS- Good luck finding good ones and when you find them good luck getting the quantioties you need. Florida is your only shot at quality. ONIONS....YELLOWS - markets are up to $28 in WA and $35 in TX. Everyone is holding their breathe hoping that Texas crops will help with these prices...don't hold your breath. WHITES- easy one. Texas at $50. REDS - tight in WA and TX and prices are demanding. Smaller buyers are buying second hand to limit inventories which gives large wholesalers some extra demand to replace the slower regular sales. Have a great week and keep the letters coming.
