Salazar Farms Seed Potatoes

Salazar Farms produces Colorado Certified Seed Potatoes at the Colorado Field Generation 1 through 4 levels. The farm produces seeds both for other seed growers and for commercial Salazar Potatoespotato growers.

A number of varieties are grown on the farm; among these are Russet, yellow skin-yellow flesh, red skin-white flesh, red skin-white flesh, red skin-yellow flesh, and also some specialty varieties such as the Purple Majesty.

The high altitude of the San Luis Valley along with the isolation of Salazar Farms from other potato growing areas of Colorado provides an ideal environment for raising disease-free seeds. An integrated pest management program that includes detailed insect, weed, and disease monitoring is conducted with the assistance of Agro Engineering plant protection specialists.

The soils on the farm are tested yearly for the presence of nematodes and Scab along with other tests required by states or countries where the seed is destined to go.
