We know there’s a lot more to growing than simply planting and watering. There’s soil type and weather and diseases and insects and other pests. There’s the breeding of new varieties and their vitality against these challenges. Research has been conducted and compiled to help those of us in the potato industry navigate through the changes and challenges.
