The 2012-13 potato season in the US promises big supplies of russets nationwide, a fact that San Luis Valley growers approach as a challenge and an opportunity. David Tonso, a co-owner of Canon Potato Co., Center, Colo., said valley marketers will have to stay on their toes to move the 2012-13 crop.
“It’s going to be a difficult marketing season,” Tonso said. “There are going to be a lot of potatoes out there.”
The good news is that San Luis Valley and other regions are reporting good quality, Tonso said.
