UPDATE: IDAHO POTATOES

September 29, 2025

Markon First Crop (MFC) Idaho Burbank and Norkotah Potatoes are available. Markets will remain low over the next 7-10 days but are expected to firm up the week of October 6, when most of the season’s harvesting will be completed.

  • Exceptional growing conditions, along with increased efficiencies, have resulted in ample supplies for the upcoming storage season
  • Initial harvests have resulted in a good volume of large-size 40- and 50-count potatoes; good mixer volume is expected on all sizes
  • Fresh run Burbanks are available in limited quantities; most suppliers will place them into storage to go through the sweat process and be available for shipping in November and December
  • Rain is forecast next week, slowing harvesting, but markets are expected to remain low with ample supply coming from the fields
  • Approximately 90% of harvests will finish by October 3
  • Expect firm pricing the week of October 6 when all potatoes go into storage
