About 90 percent of the potato crop is out of the ground in Wisconsin, and it’s looking great. That’s actually the verdict coming from several regions across the U.S. However, big spuds and high yields mean that storage will be tight. So the challenge is on for the industry to make sure there’s demand for those potatoes, says Mike Carter. Carter is the CEO of Bushmans' Inc. based in Rosholt. He’s also the chairman of Potatoes USA, the marketing arm for U.S. grown potatoes. He was recently on the East Coast visiting with growers.
