Markon First Crop (MFC) Potatoes are available in Idaho and Washington. Large-size potatoes are tightening in Idaho, pushing markets up slightly, especially for 40- through 80-count supplies. Smaller sizes and No. 2-grade stocks remain abundant. Expect slightly higher prices.

Idaho

• Storage crop MFC Norkotah and Burbank Potatoes are being shipped
• Norkotah storage supplies will wind down over the next couple of months
• Limited Burbank volume is available; 100- through 120-count sizes are most plentiful
• The gradual shift from Norkotahs to Burbanks will result in fewer 40- through 80-count potatoes
• Packouts are diminishing; pressure bruising is a problem in some late-season storage supplies, but overall quality remains strong
• Markets for 40- through 90-count supplies will rise; prices for smaller sizes and No. 2-grade stocks are holding steady

Washington

• Storage crop MFC Norkotah Potatoes are available
• Size is dominated by larger counts; strong demand will push up 40- through 80-count pricing as demand shifts from Idaho
• Quality is very good
• Markets are steady but will climb with shifting demand

Colorado, Nevada, Wisconsin

• All Colorado sizes are available with good mixer volume; demand for large, 40- and 50-count supplies is active
• Nevada production 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
• Quality is good
• Prices will increase slightly due to shifting demand
