Potato Harvest is around three quarters complete in Manitoba according to the potato specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. Tom Gonsalves says producers in some areas are already finished while harvest is fully underway in other regions.
He says important quality characteristics such as colour and specific gravity are at average or slightly above average levels considering that most of the potatoes will go to frozen french fry production. He says producers are cautiously optimistic about yields.
