Potatoes can be cheap but nothing like a fresh potatoe in August. They taste a lot different than store bought.

Dad's last team of horses went in around 1950 and he bought a S Case tractor. Same here with the revamping. Use to get a nickel for every big potatoe bug and one cent for the little red ones. db-2
New potatoes so good because they haven't been killed and the skins haven't set. Storage also impacts the taste of a spud. Best potatoes on the planet are Pontiacs. Dark Red Norlans are a really early variety. We usually have new potatoes by 4th of July.
