Potato growers in Wisconsin’s central sands region expect to wrap up planting soon. Jim Okray with Plover-based Okray Family Farms tells Brownfield planting has gone smooth this year compared to years past. “I would say we started on time if not a bit early and we are almost complete with our potato planting. If not for the rain today, we would be finished.”
Okray says they will have about 18-hundred acres of potatoes planted and should be putting potato planters away around Wednesday.
