Been using Azoxy. Paid 140.00/gal last year. That would be 5.50/acre for 5 oz. Looking forward to the price drop that coup is talking about.
We are the last potato growers in NW Missouri. We are really just a ma and pop operation and only raise about 80 acres for one small chipping plant. Trouble is a lot of the small chip plants in our area went broke that we had contracts with. Neighbors grew for Frito-Lay when they raised potatoes. It is really no fun when you only have one buyer plus the open market and a lot of times there is no movement on the open. It has been a good crop for our operation with good returns. We plant late March and harvest late July-August.
