Storage Crop

• Remaining Burbank quality continues to be a challenge as pressure bruising and hollow heart issues persist

New Crop Norkotahs

• There will be a split market next week; new crop Norkotah cartons will run $3.00 to $6.00 higher than storage crop Burbank stocks
• U.S. No. 2 pricing will strengthen next week; new crop potatoes exhibit very few defects during the early stages of harvesting producing very few No. 2s
• Minor skinning and excess moisture will be observed in fresh-run potatoes
  • Potatoes release moisture as they cool, causing a white surface mold that is easily brushed off
  • The white mold dissipates as the potatoes dry
