Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: Potatoes are one of the few crops grown in every State and harvested in some part of the country during every month of the year. A total of 1,650,000 farms reported production of potatoes in the 1950 census. During the last few years potato production has gone through some revolutionary changes. Production is becoming concentrated more each year on large-scale commercial farms. Yields per acre have more than doubled since the 1930's, because the crop is more efficiently produced and harvested than during earlier years. Potato marketing also has undergone some marked changes in recent years. The purpose of this publication is to describe those changes and to call attention, if only briefly, to marketing practices that have proved to be most efficient.
