only to crash 96% by March 2008 on overproduction
That number cannot possibly be right. To use made up numbers, if onions went for 50¢/pound, and shot up to $2/pound (400% increase), and then fell 96%, that would mean 8¢/pound. The farmers wouldn't even bother shipping at that price point. I find that many of these reporters don't known how percentages work.
