About Idaho potato prices
Upper Snake River Valley — Twin Falls-Burley and the Upper Valley; the nation's #1 russet region.
Season. Idaho potatoes typically ship March through November, based on where USDA movement volumes concentrate over the year. Outside that window fresh shipping point quotes thin out, which is normal crop rotation, not a data gap.
