Seed Selection Boosts Potato Yields in North Dakota
Fargo reports potato yields and quality can rise 25 to 50 percent with seed improvement says W G Couey state crop inspector. He notes seed field inspection and certification raise stock quality and buyers offered 20 cents above market for certified stock, reflecting local impact.
Seed certification enhances potato quality and storage facilities
Coney explains that seed certification aims to improve seed quality, not just increase growers’ profits. North Dakota certified seed totaled over 55,000 bushels last year with inspections in Bottineau, Pierce, Grand Forks, Walsh, Cass, Richland, Barnes, and Nelson counties. McLean County bought over five carloads this spring. others bought one or more. Certification requires field and harvest inspections. storage facilities enable February shipment to the North’s southern buyers, creating a potential profitable potato seed business. Inspections are free to growers, with a $2.00 registration fee if the crop passes.
