Potatoes Being Consumed

Finally, people are realizing the outstanding value and taste of North Dakota spuds.

"The amount of potatoes in storage in North Dakota is at its lowest January level in 16 years, and officials say a waning diet craze is one reason. Growers, dealers and processors had the equivalent of 11.3 million hundred-pound bags of potatoes in storage on Jan. 1, down 35 percent from a year ago and the lowest January level since 11 million hundredweight in 1990, the Agriculture Department said."
