Kreider Family Cuts Potatoes for Feed Needs and Markets
Noah Kreider Jr and family report a similar potato crop to last year but reduce acreage to save land for dairy feed. They planted 300 acres of Superior Norchip Katahdin varieties, mainly for chips, and expect digging through mid October. Prices are slightly lower amid rising labor and input costs, yet the Kreiders plan to stay in the business.
