The 34th annual Potato Grower Magazine Golf Tournament was a little toasty ... and not just the temperatures. The winning team hit a blistering 56 to win the tournament. Here is a look back at some of the "action" that took place at the Idaho Falls Country Club. The results (and more photos) are here: https://www.potatogrower.com/2024/07/potato-grower-golf-tournament-sizzles

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Hancock Agricultural Research Station has long been known for its excellent potato research. We spent part of a day at HARS last fall and were lucky enough to time it so we could be there during one of the potato harvests. We followed the potatoes from the field to the shed where they were being x-rayed for standard yield data. HARS farm manager Paul Sytsma explains the process later in the video. The station's website is (https://hancock.ars.wisc.edu/).

We finally put together a short video from our visit to the Schroeder Brothers Farms Inc in Antigo, WI, last fall during the 2023 harvest. We think harvest is one of the best times of the year.

During the annual American Sugarbeet Growers Association meeting this week, Cummins Inc New Product Development Director RaNae Isaak gave an interesting and insightful presentation on the future of heavy-duty engines and what is looming on the horizon for growers when it comes to what might be powering their farm equipment in the years to come.

That includes not only electric but hydrogen, fuel cell and other potential power sources for on- and off-farm vehicles.

While Isaak was speaking to sugarbeet growers, the information she presented would be of interest to all growers.

Isaak grew up on a farm in southeast Idaho and has been with Cummins for nearly 18 years.

Our Favorite Display At The Washington Oregon Potato Conference

There were lots of good and interesting things on display at this week’s Washington Oregon Potato Conference in Kennewick, WA.

But the poster at the H & N Electric, Power Systems by Timken booth was probably our favorite.

Developing Potatoes For (Really) Good French Fries

Dr. Mike Thornton, a professor of plant sciences with the University of Idaho, briefly explains research taking place at the University of Idaho to develop potato varieties that will eventually make good french fries.

Thornton talked about the variety development as part of the inaugural University of Idaho Potato Storage Open House, which took place in early December at the university’s state-of-the-art Potato Storage Facility at the Kimberly (Idaho) Research and Extension Center.

Thornton is based out of the university’s extension office in Parma, ID.
