March 16, 2010 By CBC News

March 16, 2010, Fredericton, NB – McCain Foods Ltd. is
cutting the volume of potatoes it buys from New Brunswick farmers by 20 to 30
per cent, citing poor economic conditions.

The move could mean a loss of about $15 million in farm
sales, says Joe Brennan, chairman of Potatoes New Brunswick.
