206 Federal Building Idaho Falls, Idaho

April 15, 1954

Most of the trade felt the holdings report was top low, but that the heavy oullage would offset the over supply^ Eastern buying continued slow the remainder of the month with little change in prices*

After much disagreement and discussion, the agreement to limit the minimum size on grades other than U.S. No» 1 to 8 ounce minimum was changed to 6 ounce minimum» This became effective on February 27, 1954 and prices immediately began to decline for the lower gradeso Throughout the month of February, the demand was light and the market prices dropped off to the low of the season. G-roWers prices for TJ.S» No«l quality were »ßO-l.OO aiid »15*o25 for U^. S« No» 2 quality» ' •

The low prices continue*d into the first part of March but the- farmers again held for higher prices causing the offerings'to be light resulting in an, increase in prices« About. January 19 rumors beg;àn circulating that tlie government was planning to give some type of help for the potato industryf This causeçt confusion and unsettlodness within the trade as no one knew what was to happen or whether they wanted any help at all» After the .Secretary of Agriculture announced that some assistance would be made available, the demand for potatoes increased slightly and prices rose about 30 cont-s por cwt loaded» These prices continued into the first . part of Aprils,but demand álowed do^vn and prices deoliiied (^lightly as this report is being released» • ' ; , . ,

Although the total produo-tion of potatoes in Idaho was larger than usiial,- the shipments by rail are not expeotöd to be great due to the heavy cullage and lack of demand throughout the season o At present 39,454 cars have been shipped' from Idaho this season». It is estimated that about 3,000 cars will be shipped the remainder of the' season»

FORWARD{ The Federalr-State Market Neivs Service issued daily market* reports on

Potatoes at Pavette^ Idaho^^ from August 6 to .September 25, 1.953 and at,Idaho Falls^ Idaho from September 28^ 1953. to April .15,- 19S4c î'rom these reports and from reports published by the U© S* Department of i^gr;i6ultare, Crop Reporting._ Board and^Idaho Inspection Service, the tables in the : following review,'were, obtained» ' As the review is being released while the marke ting'of potatoes is still in progress^ the figures published herein are subject to revision« •

PHODUCTIONj The Crop Reportii>g Board" estimated the production of potatoes in Idaho at 45,900,000 bushels as-ioompare.4 with ¡th^ final survey for 1952 of 42,780,000 bushels« From the 1952 crop 47,774 cars were shipped by rail and 3,672 cars were shipped by truck» The estimated yields for Idaho for 1953 were 300 bushels per acre .äS compared with 310 bushels for,1952* The total United .^tates production was. estimated at 373,711^000 bushels as ooÄt)arod with 249,098,000 "bushels'far 19,52 with yields, of 247,8 bushels and 249,»0 bushels respectively»

HARVESTINGt 'The îdaHo potato harvest started in the Western Section about July • 1Ü witn tne digging,of Round Redsa Long l/l/hites started about July 23 and Early Russets were dug about August 1© îho Twin Falls^^Burloy Area shipped a few cars of potatoesthe first week of Soptembor, but did not get under way to any extent until about September 15 at which time, the Upper Valley started to harvest« The weather was good for harvesting except for some rain and light snow about the 22nd of October« Night time temperatures were warnier than should have been for ideal storage conditionso A larger percentage of the potatoes went into storage than in previous years due to the low price to growers » 'By the end of October all the potatoes were under cover, although some were in temporary as storage space was c-aroe» ihe quality of ttLO crop was reported only fair fron the beginning with ño:ne lots sorting as high as 50 percent culls, but most lots running about 20-3Ô percent culls« The largest oullage factor reported was cuts and bruises with some greening and wire wormo •.,

MARKET COMMENTS I The demand for Idaho Potatoes started slow with many cars 'rolling

as soon as the harvest was well under wayV The first few cars of early Routed Reds but of the Western section brought $2:9'50 .for U*S* No» 1, but soon dropped.off to &lt80«-'l*90# The first Long lihites so ld>at, ,$1«50-lç55 and Early Russets brought $l«90-2,10é At thß close of.the Early deal .ïlussets were selling at i'ip2«55-2>75 for U©S» N04 !• The late deal started off. si ovf, with growers getting i|l »40-1 «70. for . U«S^ No# 1 quality delivered to the wâ,rel;ipuse and continued at those prices until the harvesting was finished and potatoes, started to move from storage«. At this, time the growers prices were! |1«50-1«7.5 for U.S» No# 1 at the growers cellars and iip«4Ö-#50 for U«S«,No#2*

'From the start of the season buyers were looking for best large stock and special, packs of Bakers« Splitting the packs to make special large sizes placed a large amount of anall size potatoes on the market^ These were mostly packed in 10 Ibo bags and practically demoralized the s,mall package^: marke t*» At this time a rec- ommendation was sent to the Department -of Agriculture to restrict the shipments of potatoes of lessor, grades than. U.S« No^^.l to 8 ounce minimum and all. U« S»No« JL to size A« The agreement'went into effect on December 28, 1953« This caused the U« S. No« 2 to-become' scarce as ra^ojiy were thrown into the culls and 'the price advanced about to20 per cwto

The month of .January savf the best demand and movement of the. season^ On January 8th 355 cfeirs were shipped from Idaho and, heavy shipments continued throughout most of the monthty When the Stocks on Hand report VJUS released on Jeoiuary 20th the demand declined slightly and the farmers bogan holding for higher prices©
