Markon First Crop (MFC) Idaho Burbank and Norkotah Potatoes are available. Large sizes (40- through 70-count supplies) are decreasing as the Norkotah storage season wraps up. Expect pricing for larger sizes to rise through late June.

Storage Crop

• The Norkotah season is winding down; storage crop supplies will be finished in early July
• Once Norkotahs are depleted, Burbanks will be the sole variety from July to mid-August
• Burbanks are dominated by 80-count and smaller sizes
• As the remaining storage crop shifts from Norkotahs to Burbanks, expect lower volume and rising prices for 40- through 70-count stocks
• Quality remains excellent for both varieties; pack-outs favor No. 1 grade

New Crop

• Ideal spring weather, with warm days and cool nights, is creating optimal growing conditions
• Acreage is down roughly 5% from last year, but with prime growing conditions, yields are expected to be exceptional, barring any unforeseen weather events
• Water is plentiful due to the winter season’s snowpack
• Norkotah harvesting and packing normally begins in early to mid-August
