Summer Potato Area Sinks 11%
WASHINGTON - Jun 30/10 - SNS -- Summer potato plantings reached an estimated 39,400 acres of potatoes this year, down 11% from last year, according to seeded area estimates released by the USDA today.
Harvested area is forecast at 38,400 acres, 10% lower than 2009. The reduction in planted and harvested area is due primarily to the fact that California's summer potatoes are combined with spring potatoes beginning in 2010.
In Virginia, timely spring rains combined with hot weather in early June resulted in good growth. Wet weather delayed planting in Maryland. Market conditions discouraged growers from planting potatoes in Kansas. Water supplies were adequate in Colorado; however, wells along the South Platte River remained capped due to water rights issues.
