UPDATE: POTATOES

May 25, 2023

Sufficient supplies of Markon First Crop (MFC) Burbank and Norkotah Potatoes are available.

Storage Crop

  • Large sizes (40- through 50-count potatoes) are ample; smaller sizes (100- through 6 oz. No. 2 supplies) are limited
  • Quality remains great for both varieties; pack-outs favor No. 1 quality, with limited No. 2 availability
  • Norkotah stocks are expected to be depleted by mid-June; 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 is wrapping up planting this week (one week behind normal schedule); Norkotah harvesting and packing would normally begin in mid- to late August
  • Washington completed planting last week (one week behind normal schedule); Norkotah harvesting and packing would normally begin the last week of July
