Markon First Crop (MFC) Red and Yellow Potatoes are available in Idaho and North Dakota. Prices are rising; supplies are tight on the East Coast, pushing demand West. Southern Florida escaped major damage from recent cold weather, but growers in Northern Florida must replant. Expect limited supplies during the transition from Southern to Northern Florida that occurs in April.
