Ever wondered how potatoes go from seed to the spuds you see at the grocery store? In this video, we take you behind the scenes of our Idaho farm to show you the full process of unloading, cutting, treating, and prepping seed potatoes for planting.

-We walk through:
-Unloading seed potatoes from the semi
-How and why we cut seed potatoes (and what size is ideal)
-Our 40-year-old seed cutter in action
-Treating the seed to prevent disease
-Drying the seed with a dusting process
-Common questions we get about potato planting-including why we don't reuse last year's crop

We're working with Norkotas this year (a grocery store favorite), and cutting 22,000 sacks total! If you're into farming, gardening, or just love potatoes, you're going to love this look at one of the most critical stages in the planting season.
