Maine farmers have now increased their yield to 450 bushels per acre, whereas the national yield is 211 bushels. Thanks to fertilizer and insect sprays, how- ever, the national average next year will be 240 bushels. Mean- while, top Idaho spuds have been selling for $2.75 to $3.50 per bush- el while Uncle Sam is paying support price of around $2 for sur- pluses. So it's not in Idaho that potatoes are piling up.
