Ballarat Potato Farmers reject price offer McCain Foods

Ballarat district potato growers have rejected a price offer from McCain Foods to buy this season's crop.

Tasmanian food processor JR Simplot, also known as Birds Eye and Edgell, is among McCain's competitors offering growers much higher prices per tonne.
