Jeep tells Potato
Problems at
Chamber
"Agriculture is the big
gest business in America,"
Byard "Jeep" Slocumb with
'Oregon Potato at Umatilla
since 1969 told the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce Monday. "Am
erica can't grow unless the
growers grow and the grower
can't grow unless he receives
a fair price for producing
food and fiber. If he
doesn't the farmer will
perish."
Acreage of the lowly po
tato is on the increase in
Oregon with 11,000 planted
in 1972 as compared with
6000 in 1971, 5000 in 1970,
and 2000 in 1968. Following
a normal pattern one third
will go into the fresh mar
ket and two-thirds into pro
cess. Because the grower re
ceives one-half of parity,
many growers are going
broke.
There are three classifica
tions for potatoes: seed po
tatoes, fresh market and pro
cessing. Millions of dollars
are needed to go into po
tato production. Seed po- .
tatoes are expensive withNor
golds coming from the mid
west and Russetts from Mon
tana. Producing the fresh
market potato can put a shot
in the arm of any commun
ity. They are heavy con
sumers of local and interna
tional goods. They are good
customers of the railroad and
Oregon-Washington potatoes
are shipped to every state in
the United States as well as
foreign countries.
Processed potatoes go as
French fries, chipping and
dehydration-flake soups. Low
grades are fed to livestock.
Kennebec potatoes are best
for chipping.
The potato industry has
teamed its French fries with
the Bun and the Patty for
a toothsome trio that has
helped wheat farmers and the
livestock growers.
Vast amounts of potatoes
are also grown in Poland and
USSR.
Mr. Slocumb listed the pro
blems of the potato grower,
many of them like every
other grower. He listed the
grower needing sufficient fi
nancing. It costs about $500
per acre to get into produc
tion and $100 to harvest. The
