AgWeb released a video story today about the impacts of flooding rain in Louisiana and North Carolina on this year’s sweet potato crops. In some areas of Louisiana, for example, some farmers lost 50 to 70 percent of their crop. In the north, losses ranged from 15 percent to 35 percent. You can read more and watch the video here.
In spite of the flooding, there is still an excellent demand for North Carolina sweet potatoes, according to The Packer, and values remain high. You can read their story here.
