From CBC PEI:
"A new national farm group will focus on keeping the supply of potatoes down in order to keep prices up."
From Wikipedia:
"A cartel is a group of legally independent producers whose goal it is to fix prices, to limit supply and to limit competition."

Ever been on the receiving end of a potato gun?
Seriously, don't piss off the potato cartel.

Carl - I think potato guns are one of the coolest inventions of this age. Hint: WADS OF WET PAPER TOWEL! Seriously.....makes the weirdest noise you'll ever hear. You can also safely shoot people.

Hey Dan,
Great Post. Sorry I am a bit late to reply, but my "work" has kept me busy.
We are not a communist organization, we believe that all of us should do a little less work collectively, then we will all gain as a cooperative. And hey who doesn't want to do less work.
So if you know what's good for you, and if you don't want to pay less for your potatoes, because of a competitive fair market environment, you will keep your nose out of our business.
Or the aforementioned potato gun will be used...
Cheers, Enjoy your spuds...
Guido
