Areas of
Expertise
Involved in evaluation and market development of specialty
potato varieties, including reds, yellows, colored flesh
types, and fingerlings. In cooperation with Tri-state
researchers, specialty clones are evaluated for
adaptation, yield, and cooking quality. Also evaluates
potato and other vegetable varieties for use in farmer’s
market and truck farm production.
