Red River Valley potato growers say they will have a crop with good color, good quality, a variety of sizes and plenty of volume. The question is, what will they get in return for their product? The Red River Valley has long held a niche in the potato market, producing a spud crop that is more than 90% red potatoes. But more and more reds are being produced in other growing areas around the country. “There are more areas throughout the year growing colored potatoes,” said Paul Dolan, president of Associated Growers Inc., Grand Forks, N.D. “The East Coast, even in the Midwest, there are little pockets popping up where people are growing colored potatoes.”
