- Bill DeVos: Growers Should Focus on Consumers

- New Year’s Resolution
- Promoting Idaho Potatoes Kim Wahlen is a third-generation potato grower, farming about 6,000 acres near his hometown of Aberdeen, Idaho. His grandfather, Peter Frederick Wahlen, immigrated from Sweden to Salt Lake City, Utah, nearly 90 years ago.
- State of the Industry If anyone knows what’s happening in the fields, it’s potato growers. To see what growers are thinking and how they feel about the current market, Spudman sent questions to several growers across the country. Six responded: Andy Diercks from Wisconsin; Danny Johns from Florida; Carla Worley from Colorado; Justin Dagen from Minnesota; Todd Michael from Ohio; and Stanley Searle from Idaho.
