With planting season only weeks away, severe drought conditions are raising concerns about the 2021 Red River Valley potato crop in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Northern Plains Potato Growers Association plans to premiere a new 20-inch backlit display at its tradeshow booth at the 2019 Produce Marketing Association Fresh Summit.
No single company seems to drive potato sales out of the Red River Valley, but collectively the region is a strong supplier for retail and foodservice buyers.
Two North Dakota potato operations bought Northern Valley Growers in Hoople and launched the new enterprise at the former Northern Valley facility under the H&S FreshPak banner in June.
