LETHBRIDGE  - Farm Weather Report for the Week of Sept 15


On this episode of the Rural Roots Canada podcast, brought to you by Alberta Canola, Craig Lester and Tim Parent are talking potatoes. Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, put ‘em in a stew, the versatile potato was in the spotlight at the annual Potato Growers of Alberta conference. Potatoes had a spud-tacular growing season according to Chair Allison Davie who joins the conversation (3:07), while Tony Kirkland, vice-chair and owner of Sandhills Seed Potatoes, talks about the strong potato market (4:15). We also catch up with Emily Owen from Second Harvest, who’s helping ensure potatoes make their way from fields to families in need across multiple provinces (7:52). And to top it all off, we spoke with Chris and Harold Perry, PepsiCo’s Global Farmers of the Year, about what it takes to stand out on the world stage (12:20).
