About Russet potato carton counts
A 50 lb russet carton is size-graded by count, the number of potatoes that fill the box. A 40-count carton holds forty big bakers; a 100-count holds a hundred small ones. Lower count means a bigger potato, and the low counts carry the premium. Prices here are normalized per hundredweight so the whole ladder compares on one scale.
