He said Idaho produced the most potatoes in the county last year, and what happens to crop yields in the state will influence prices across the country.
"As the fresh market goes, the grocery stores – your Albertsons, Walmart, WinCo, that stuff – it is not just Idaho that's having high prices right now. It's the other states as well."
Higham expects potato prices to remain high through the rest of the year.
