University (MSU). Growing interest in
Mackinaw, also from MSU, saw the chip
variety increase to 175 acres from
107 acres in 2021.
Planting season was favorable this
year, and operations began early for
many growers. The growing season
was marked by an especially dry
June and July, prompting increased
irrigation efforts. Seed health has been
especially good with average or below
average levels of PVY and blackleg, and
no detections of bacterial ring rot or
late blight again this year. Despite heat
and scattered rains causing operations
to be stop-and-go, harvest progressed
steadily after Labor Day and finished
the week of Oct. 3.
With harvest inspections wrapped,
the Michigan Seed Potato Association
began its preparations to return to
Hawaii this year for postharvest testing
of all lots in the certification program,
and is cooperating with the Michigan
Department of Agriculture and Rural
Development to conduct PCN testing
for international shipments.

applied to certify 8,846.23 acres for
the 2022 crop year, an increase from
5,685.75 acres in the 2021 crop year. In
total 6,533.31 acres were certified when
subtracting 7.82 experimental acres,
and 2,305.10 acres rejected for severe
mosaic, varietal mix, vine killed prior
to third inspection, and not meeting
eligibility. Russet Burbank remained
the variety with the most acres planted.
The spring was cool and wet,
delaying planting throughout the
2022-10-24 12:34 PM
state. Most certified seed potato
growers began planting in late May,
finishing in mid to late June. The
Minnesota Department of Agriculture
(MDA) inspectors were busy, with
three inspections conducted on all
certified seed potato lots. The summer
provided good growing conditions
and average rainfall, but the fall
provided less rain and was drier.
The drought conditions during this
period affected some quality, yields,
and delayed harvest. Overall, growers
reported the harvest produced average
to below-average yields with good
quality statewide.
The MDA Potato Inspection Unit
uses a generation system and remains
vigilant in detecting potato virus and
other disease. The Certified Seed
Potato Program continues to honor
the USDA Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service memorandum of
understanding for the Necrotic Virus
Management Plan. The Minnesota
Department of Agriculture will be
conducting the postharvest winter
