eSpudman Clarification

In the March eSpudman Market Report it was incorrectly reported that Prince Edward Island growers were negotiating for a four-year contract with McCain Foods and that four-year contracts offered by McCain included no cost of production increases.

Contract negotiations with Prince Edward Island growers are for one year.

The four-year contract for growers in New Brunswick and Maine could include cost of production increases based on future contract settlements with growers in Washington and Idaho, according to Dana Wright, executive director of the Agricultural Bargaining Council of Maine.
