When potato producers plant their seed this spring, they’ll have three new varieties to choose from:
Alpine Russet
Alpine Russet
Alpine Russet, a very high-yielding, medium- to late-maturing processing potato that has a natural dormancy rivaling Russet Burbank. It can be stored as long as Russet Burbank while producing lighter-colored fries.
Classic Russet
Classic Russet
Classic Russet, an early- to medium-maturing, good-looking and great-tasting variety that exceeds Russet Burbank in protein content by 32 percent and that can compete with Russet Norkotah for early harvest yields. It can be sold into freshpack markets or processed right out of the field or during the early storage season.
Clearwater Russet
Clearwater Russet
Clearwater Russet, an exceptionally attractive, mid- to full-season potato for both freshpack and processing that offers 38 percent more protein than Russet Burbank and excellent fry color out of storage.
