The NPPGA provides legislative, operational, and marketing support to growers throughout northwest Minnesota and all of North Dakota. Ted Kreis, marketing director for the East Grand Forks, MN-based association, said that the NPPGA provides money for research and marketing and keeps its members informed about the latest trends and issues impacting potato growers throughout the industry. It works hand-in-hand with both Potatoes USA and the National Potato Council to ensure it is providing the most accurate and important information. "We had a really dry summer, and we got a little bit larger crop than we thought we'd get, but we knew we'd be done this year," Kreis said. “Some of the red acres switched to yellow because they yield higher. We're down about 6 percent over the previous year, with yellows being up and red being down considerably.” As the largest red potato-producing region in the U.S., growers in the Red River Valley rely on this communication and advice to continue leading the industry.
