Of course, it is still too early to count one’s taters—another crop could swoop in for the win.
The Ontario potato crop did not see as much precipitation in the southwestern part of Ontario is farmers might have preferred—even though it seems to be a pretty good crop. But some regions did suffer from a lack of rain during the growing season, which could impact yield. Even so, many farmers had enough of a crop to provide donations to local food banks.
If we are talking about farm value, with a shortage of grapes, the crop value will go up with the farm value.
Challenging the Ontario potato and grape yields will be field tomatoes, and apples. Tomatoes while less expensive per pound, are used and are grown in greater numbers than apples. But it is the fact that apples are less common than tomatoes that allow the higher apple costs to the consumer.
