Northwest potato growers meeting in the Tri-Cities this week at the Washington State Potato Conference will continue to see their produce on school lunch menus. Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued new guidelines for school lunches.
And despite a request from the First Lady, potatoes will remain unrestricted on school menus. The new guidelines are good news for local potato growers, as they will continue to be able to sell their products for school meals.
