Potato chips, french fries or a big baked spud.  If you see it today, be reminded that the Wisconsin potato producer that put it there is losing money.  Stephanie Hoff tells us that Mike Weinkle, COO of the National Potato Council is on the job to try and change that trend.  Weinkle says they're working on everything from nutrition labeling issues to market access to help better those spud prices.  Stephanie Hoff reports.


While the war in Iran rages, connecting the dots on disruptions in dairy marketing continues.  Bryce Windecker, dairyman himself and dairy analyst with EverAg says that the Middle East has turned into a bigger and brighter dairy market than ever before - until the war.  Windecker says that the Saudia Arabia had been capitalizing on U.S.  prices and purchasing a lot of butter and cheese.  Now that dairy product is having a difficult time finding its way to the buyer.  As prices go down, he says other major marketplaces like Mexico are moving their buying chairs to cheaper competitors versus the U.S.
