Scope and Content Note
Daily market reports for produce sold in the Utica area were tallied by the Senior Marketing Representative. The Department created the reports to provide information to farmers and to help formulate production and marketing policies.
The reports describe the volume of trading done on a particular day, the opening and closing prices for each item (both homegrown and out-of-state), any sharp fluctuations in the price of an item, and beginning in 1969, temperature and weather conditions for each day of a report. The produce items listed on each report are categorized as fruits, vegetables, or eggs, and are then arranged alphabetically.
