If you had every kind of potato package allowed under Pennsylvania law, you could open a weight room. But you'd be missing 8-pound weights.
State law says potato farmers can sell their goods in packages weighing 3 pounds, 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 15, 20, 25, 50, and 100.
But 8-pound bags can't be sold in Pennsylvania, though they're allowed in nearby New York and Maryland.
State Sen. Dave Argall said he thinks it's a crazy rule – and he's trying to get rid of it.
The potato farmers that prompted the legislation say 8-pound bags are selling much better than 10-pound bags, and they're not able to reap such profits in Pennsylvania.
