Potato growers from across the country gathered in Texas for Potato Expo 2026. “I tell you what makes this so great is that this Potato Expo gets all of us potato growers together, a chance for us to meet and greet, and see all the new technologies that are out there in the potato world,” said TJ Hall, NPC vice president of finance. The Hoople, North Dakota grower has attended Potato Expo for more than a decade. Hall acknowledged ongoing price pressure but remains cautiously optimistic about the year ahead. “Even with the great crop that we had last year, things are a little bit tough in the ag sector right now with prices, but all we can hope is for the best for this upcoming year and hopefully some of our challenges get fixed and we keep moving forward.”
