Breeding program showing latest varieties
GROWERS and suppliers in Texas will today be able to see 180 potato varieties on display at an annual field day.
The annual Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program Field Day is being hosted by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Barrett Potato Farms at Springlake Potato Sales and a field between Littlefield and Springlake.
