Alaskan shippers may have noticed a lack of Alaska Grown potatoes on store shelves lately, after months of persistent rain has plagued this year’s agricultural season. Wet weather has inhibited farmers from harvesting their crops as early as they’d like.
said high rain totals this year was one of the worst production years he had seen in 47 years.
According to VanderWeele, the rain did not affect the growth of the potatoes — just his ability to harvest. “It was just too wet, too muddy,” VanderWeele said. “That’s why the harvest took longer, but we have a beautiful crop and there’s lots of them.” According to VanderWeele, Alaska residents should start seeing bags of potatoes bearing that proud Alaska Grown logo on grocery store shelves in the coming days.
