Markon First Crop (MFC) Potatoes are available in Idaho and Washington. Prices are rising in multiple regions as storage crops wind down. Markon recommends ordering for quick turns and keeping inventory tight due to shorter shelf life.

Idaho

• Storage crop MFC Norkotah and Burbank Potatoes are being shipped
• Norkotah storage supplies are expected to be depleted by late June
• Burbank volume is slowly ramping up; small sizes dominate the crop
• The gradual shift from Norkotahs to Burbanks will result in fewer 40- through 80-count potatoes
• Pressure and shoulder bruising are being reported in late-season storage supplies, but overall quality remains strong; these issues (soft, external indents) result from constant contact with adjacent potatoes or the floor while raw product sits in storage piles
• Markets are rising

Washington

• Storage crop MFC Norkotah Potatoes are available
• Remaining supplies are dominated by large sizes
• Quality is very good
• Markets are higher for larger sizes due to strong demand

Colorado & Wisconsin

• All Colorado sizes are available with good mixer volume
• Wisconsin yields are dominated by small, 90- to 120-count sizes
• Quality is good
• Prices are climbing in both regions
