Coryton Indiana March 29 George Sap of Allerton Wayte county has brought the Peachblow potato variety back to Southern Town and he and neighbors report great success. GC L. Witeh, Amessjlecialist, says Peachblow is a very late type that can bridge the summer and grow tubers in Iowa in the fall. Sap’s neighbors claim independence from high potato prices by growing the variety. The article notes Peachblow’s decline may have been due to early potato varieties growing near late ones. They suggest planting late cut varieties apart to avoid simultaneous die-off. The project includes a farm bureau potato plots program to expand to 1344 this year with farmers and townspeople, bringing Peachblow from Colorado mountains and adding the British Queen variety for longer season and vigor. Sap’s experience aims to aid farmers and homemakers across Iowa as they pursue Peachblow cultivation and new options.
