News and Stories

The 2018 Idaho potato harvest is complete. Carton prices are expected to increase, but will decline as November progresses when more retail bags are produced for Thanksgiving.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Norkotah Potatoes are readily available
• MFC Burbank Potatoes will begin shipping from storage the week of November 5
• Strong demand for the Thanksgiving holiday typically begins in early November, decreasing carton prices, as foodservice cartons are a by-product of retail supplies
• Storage crop Idaho White Russet potatoes will not be available until the first week of January
