US Facing Possible French Fry Shortage After Cold, Wet Weather Damages Potato Crop
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Hoard your fries! We may be facing a french fry shortage after a poor potato crop.
According to Bloomberg News, much of this year's potato crop has been damaged by cold, wet weather.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts potato production will drop a little over 6% this year, the lowest drop since 2010.
This could mean higher prices for potatoes at the grocery store.
