Sufficient supplies of Markon First Crop (MFC) Burbank and Norkotah Potatoes are available.
Storage Crop
- Size is currently dominated by 80- through 90-count supplies; larger sizes (40- through 50-count potatoes) are adequate
- Quality remains great for both varieties; pack-outs favor No. 1 quality, with limited No. 2 availability
- Norkotah stocks are winding down throughout this month; Burbanks will be the sole variety for the remainder of the season
- Daily production schedules have been reduced to extend storage supplies until the new crop season (2023-2024) begins
- Limited Idaho Burbank stocks are expected to ship through late July/early August
- Washington supplies will be depleted by mid-July
- Advanced order lead-time is highly recommended for order fulfillment
New Crop
- Idaho will wrap up planting by the end of next week (one week behind normal schedule); Norkotah harvesting and packing would normally begin in mid- to late August
- Washington will finish planting by the end of this week (one week behind normal schedule); Norkotah harvesting and packing would normally begin the last week of July
