    		Those would be bushels or tons? Surely not individual spuds. The linked site refers to hundred weight (long and short, America uses short = 100 lbs) and that the values of the Table are in thousand cwt (hundredweight). So, add two zeroes for the hundred part and then three zeroes for the thousand part and according to 2005 statistics Idaho produced 11,697,500,000 lbs of potatoes while Maine produced 1,582,000,000 lbs.
