 Market Commentary: Russet table potato prices dropped in Idaho and the San Luis Valley last week. Prices were unchanged in the Columbia Basin and Wisconsin.

Notes: Prices are Friday mostly quotes. All prices are in dollars per cwt. FWA is a weighted average of shipping point prices for common packs in each area. Weights differ by area. GRI is the Grower Returns Index for each individual area, on a delivered to packing shed basis. Idaho GRIs are based on a 60% packout for Burbanks and a 75% packout for Norkotahs.
