Potato harvest is beginning around the Buxton, North Dakota area. NoKota Packers President Steve Tweeten says the rain slowed things down. “This week’s temperatures are making it so potato growers can’t dig full days. It’s too warm, but the quality of the potatoes coming in looks nice. Early indications are for a good crop at an average or slightly above average yield.” Growers will continue to watch the temperature and moisture.
