USDA Plans To Bail Out Wild Blueberries

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will buy up to 30 million pounds of wild blueberries to help with flagging prices and over-supply.

Members of Maine's congressional delegation told The Associated Press on Thursday that the agency will pay up to $13 million for the blueberries.

The purchase comes after the delegation sent a letter to the agency in which they said prices of frozen wild blueberries have fallen by as much as half in the last five years.
