Russet Potato Plant Increase Reported in Idaho
USDA Crop Reporting Service notes Idaho late summer russet potato area up with total state harvest estimated at 175 000 acres, 7 000 more than 1956 revised, and yield forecast at 210 cwt per acre. Early reds shipments began July 10, with long white and early Gems underway. Planting progressed ahead of normal until May 10 but slowed due to wet cool weather, new land expansion in Minidoka Cassia Bingham and Jerome counties, and overall good conditions with some russet roughness.
