Some Red River Valley potatoes could go unharvested

oktober 28, 2009

Wet fields in North Dakota and Minnesota’s Red River Valley will mean some potatoes will go unharvested, according to an industry official.

As of Oct. 28, 4,400 acres of spuds in the valley had yet to be harvested, said Ted Kreis, marketing and communications director of the East Grand Forks, Minn.-based Northern Plains Potato Growers Association, in a news release.

That’s 4.5% of the region’s total acreage, he said.

“Dry weather in recent days has helped a bit, but progress is very slow in the muddy conditions,” Kreis said. “Not all the potatoes will be dug.”
