Late seeded Manitoba potatoes face quality issues

Late seeded Manitoba potatoes face quality issues
十月 03, 2010
Manitoba potato producers have experienced a wide range of growing conditions all year, and now are experiencing a wide range of quality for their crop.

Brian Wilson, potato specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives, said the wet conditions that have affected Manitoba during September will have a large impact of the quality of the potato crop.

"The potatoes that have been harvested haven't been the ones to see wet conditions,"Wilson said. "We're well into harvest, but producers are busy digging, and there will be a wide range of where we are at in terms of quality."

"Some potatoes went into the ground very, very early in April,"he said. "We're going to end up with fields that are well above average, and fields that are well below average or even not harvested."
