Potato Prices Might Pop—Here’s Why

Ever wonder why your fries might get pricier? Potato farmers are battling a sneaky pest called the wireworm, which is munching through spuds and making them unsellable. This isn’t just a farmer problem—if wireworms keep spreading, we could see higher prices for chips, fries, and even fresh potatoes at the store. With old-school bug sprays being phased out, farmers are turning to fungi and friendly nematodes to fight back. Next time you grab a bag of chips, you might be paying a little extra thanks to these tiny troublemakers! #FoodPrices #PotatoProblems #LifeHacks #GroceryBudget #SustainableFarming #Business
