UPDATE: POTATOES

February 25, 2026

Markon First Crop (MFC) Norkotah Potatoes are available in Idaho and Washington. Most markets remain relatively low, but prices for large sizes, specifically 40-and 50-counts, are inching up; Idaho Norkotah seasonal volume is falling. Quality is excellent across all regions.

Idaho

  • Storage crop MFC Norkotah and Burbank Potatoes are being shipped
  • Size is trending towards smaller sizes as the Norkotah storage season starts to wind down
    • Norkotah 60-count and smaller stocks are most plentiful; 40- and 50-count supplies are tightening up
    • Burbank production is dominated by smaller sizes (100- through 120-count stocks) as well as No. 2 grade potatoes
    • Prices for 40- and 50-count are increasing

Washington

  • Storage MFC Norkotah Potatoes are available
  • Size profile leans heavier to larger counts; rising demand will push up 40- and 50-count pricing
  • Quality is very good

Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin

  • All Colorado sizes are available with good mixer volume; demand for large, 40- and 50-count supplies is rising
  • Nevada is running at a slow pace, packing to order; 60-count and No. 2 grade stocks dominate pack outs
  • Wisconsin yields are dominated by small, 90- to 120-count sizes
  • Markets are stable but poised to increase for the 40- to 50-count market in all three regions
  • Quality is very good
