Eagle Eye Produce of Idaho Falls, ID, a leading grower, packer, and shipper of potatoes and onions, has announced the start of its new crop shipping season from its facilities in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
Reports from the field point to strong quality, good sizing, and stable supplies across both crops. With harvest underway across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, and expected to continue through October, the season is off to a strong start.
Joe Ange, Director of Onion Sales, shared his thoughts on this year’s onion crop: “We’re seeing great quality and sizing on our yellow, red, and white onions. The weather has been great for growing onions. It stayed warm enough to keep the crop healthy without any extreme heat. Harvest kicked off a little early in Idaho and Eastern Oregon and will run through September. With more supply and new warehouses shipping this season, we’re in a strong position to meet customer demand.”
Coleman Oswald, Director of Sales at Eagle Eye Produce, commented on this season’s potato crop: “This season has shaped up well. Heat came after row closure, which helped hold moisture in the soil, and we’re seeing strong quality and good sizing so far. We’ve upgraded our packing lines and field technology over the last few years, and those improvements are showing up this season. They’re helping us pack more efficiently and maintain consistent quality as we head into this new crop season. Our customers can count on a steady supply of russet, red, and yellow potatoes to support their year-round programs this year.”
