Wissler Potatoes Cut Costs With Local Co op Marketing
Wissler describes using family equipment to lower costs and pooling with his father and brother for potato farming. He relies on a two row digger, avoids automatic pickers, and uses four spray applications with insecticide at planting. Katahdin is the sole variety, planted in April and harvested in September, with field run storage and co op marketing through the Pa Cooperative Potato Growers Assn.
