Kaw Valley Potato Industry In Topeka Topeka Kansas
A rugged portrait of Kaw Valley potato farming from Topeka toward Kansas City. The Kaw district tops U S potato production with 7000 acres, 1300 carloads shipped yearly, and De Soto as the main shipping point. Growers invest in seed, spray for beetles, and soil conditioning while midwestern laborers gather for harvest. Potatoes fetch 50 to 74 cents a bushel. farms yield up to 30 bushels per acre, with some years earning substantial profits despite costs. The Kaw crops supply markets from Topeka and Kansas City to the east coast, with Minnesota and Illinois among buyers. J G Groves, known as the potato king, leads experimental seed work and multi-acre plantings near Edwardsville. Harvest begins after July Fourth with both machine and hand digging, and local rail shipments move steady daily.
