The image is from a private, regional community Facebook group. Meaning that you have to live in or very near yhe community to join. So this is not some made up BS because the intended target audience was a few thousand people. The title is as such because they are American, they are farmers, and they could not sell their product.
For further context, some weeks ago the local grocery stores were selling potatoes for $0.49 per pound.
Now, I do not know the full background for this mess but I do know that Idaho potatoes are exported outside the US, in part, due to their highly successful marketing.
idk how they are compared to other countries, but in statesia they are the good potatoes. and that photo looks like a lot of damn good potatoes
Which Region? If it's in the Pac NW I know people who could possible get this distributed to communities
Tetons (Idaho near the Wyoming border)
Damn, way too far.
