Canada: Parkland hosts first ever Potato Varieties Field Day

Parkland Potato Varieties will be hosting its first annual open day at the Crop Diversification Centre South in Brooks, Alberta on August 26^th from 10 am to 2 pm. Although Parkland has participated in numerous trials around North America, this is the first time Parkland will have its own field day. Kirby Sawatzky, Director of Parkland: “As we change our marketing approach on new varieties, we felt it was the right time to do our own field day. This is our first open day and we hope to do more in the future in additional locations as we grow, develop and evaluate our varieties.” Parkland has selected a number of varieties to showcase in the field day, including processing, table and specialty varieties.
