Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Crop & Supply Update

  • Idaho & Washington weather has been favorable, supporting a strong upcoming crop.
  • Old crop storage supplies are nearly depleted.
  • New crop potatoes are starting to roll in, but availability is limited, especially for larger sizes (40–70 ct).

Regional Highlights

  • Idaho: Norkotahs are starting; Burbanks expected later this month.
  • Washington: New crop available, but skewing toward smaller sizes (90–120 ct).
  • Colorado/Wisconsin: Storage supplies wrapping up; new crop available with smaller profiles.

Market Conditions

  • The market remains firm, with tight supply on larger sizes.
  • Expect price increases, especially on #2 potatoes.
  • Quality is generally good, though some storage lots may show minor imperfections.

What You Can Do

  • Plan ahead: Advanced ordering is recommended, especially if you need larger sizes.
  • Stay flexible: Smaller sizes are more readily available and may offer better value.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,
