USDA Changes Handling Regulation for Colorado Potatoes

The US Department of Agriculture has updated the size requirement for Centennial Russet potatoes grown in Area No. 2 of Colorado, reducing the minimum diameter from 2 inches to 1 7/8 inches, in an effort to increase marketing flexibility for growers, returns for potato handlers, and consumer access to potatoes.
