At the same time all of the farmers lost their contracts with Frito Lay...not sure where Frito Lay moved the contracts to...but after that everything became corn and soybeans.
Not sure if it’s where the Idaho contracts went but the Hastings Florida area now produces a huge percentage of the chip potato crop. I remember about thirty years ago Frito-Lay coming in and offering huge contracts and everyone switching to small chip potato farming.
