Markon First Crop (MFC) Norkotah Potatoes are readily available in Idaho. Size is dominated by 70- through 100- count supplies. Prices have eased and will continue inching down.

New Crop Norkotahs

• Norkotah quality is very good; yields are excellent due to ideal growing conditions
• Minor skinning and excess moisture may be observed in fresh-run potatoes
• New crop potatoes have not gone through the sweat process yet
  • Potatoes may release moisture as they cool, causing very light, white surface residue that can be easily be brushed off
  • The white residue will dissipate as potatoes dry and does not pose any quality problems

New Crop Burbanks

• New crop Burbank harvesting will begin in late September/early October
• MFC Burbank Potatoes will be packed once they move through their sweat process, approximately late October/early November
