Harrisburg reports the 1947 season saw the second largest certified seed potato output in Pennsylvania, totaling 311,065 bushels.

Results note fewer rejections overall and better storage conditions, though leaf roll and mosaic remained notable disease concerns and Teton showed resistance to late-acting issues.
