Market Commentary: Idaho’s shipments were the lowest in six weeks. Prices continue to increase. First report for new-crop Wisconsin and Idaho Norkotahs.

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.
