Potatoes Eastern Washington’s potato varieties had a strong growing season this year. Chris Voigt, Executive Director at the Washington Potato Commission said this year lacked any extended periods of heat and overall had ideal weather conditions for potatoes. “Just the entire growing season has been really good,” said Voigt. “It’s really kind of set up for a nice harvest season.” The harvest season for potatoes started out warmer than usual which caused a delay since harvesting potatoes in hot weather can harm the potatoes when they are transferred into cold storage, said Voigt.
