UPDATE: IDAHO POTATOES – COLD WEATHER FORECAST

January 9, 2025

Forecasts are predicting below-freezing temperatures to persist in Eastern and Southern Idaho.

  • Temperatures need to be 18°F or higher for 5 to 7 hours to haul potatoes from cellars to packing sheds; hauling  when temperatures are below 18°F will freeze potatoes
  • Expect reduced production and delayed loading; advanced order lead time is highly recommended for order fulfillment
  • Many suppliers will utilize onsite storage to cover orders
