Potatoes

Potatoe field.

Potatoes are the final part of our crop mix. Potatoes are planted in April, and require a lot of care through the summer months until they are harvested in July and September. They have to be sprayed every 7 days, mainly for insects, more specifically the potato bug.

Gruesbeck Produce handles most of the potato maintenance. The potatoes are either table stock, which are used for baking, or chip potatoes, which are used by potato chip companies such as Frito Lay.
