The purpose of this survey is to collect accurate, up-to-date information on farm prices received for potatoes. These prices are used to calculate farm cash receipts, to negotiate international trade agreements, to formulate income stabilization policies and to help farmers make informed management decisions.

- Please report the price received after any deductions or bonuses were made.
