Potato growers in Wisconsin’s central sands region have been making good planting progress. One of them is Andy Diercks at Coloma Farms. He says, “We’re probably 35-40% (done), something like that.”
Diercks tells Brownfield his crew started planting a week ago, and some other growers began around ten days ago. “We’ve really only got two or threemore days of planting. Then, we’ll switch to corn and soybeans and go back to potatoes.”
Diercks is a grower for The Little Potato Company, and he says those are the varieties that will get planted after corn and soybeans.
