Introduction

This publication presents potato estimates of acreage, yield per acre, production, farm disposition, season average price,

value, and utilization of sales including processing for the 2017 season with historic comparisons. Also included are first

of the month potato stocks (December through June) for the 13 major fall potato producing States. Percent of acreage

planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. Production, disposition, and value data for

Alaska are shown separately.

These estimates are based on information furnished by producers, processors, and cooperating State or Federal Agencies.

The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and miscellaneous

data available through marketing programs.

Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale. These prices are applied to

total production to compute value of production, and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes

contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season

average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold.

Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by season according to the period when

the largest supplies are harvested.

The three seasons are as follows:

Season Usual Time of Harvest

Spring January through June

Summer July to mid-September

Fall August through November

A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons are not fixed dates but are

approximations because of overlapping harvests. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall

potatoes, when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. Thus, the marketing year for

fall potatoes is from the start of harvest through August of the following year.


2017 Potato Production Up Slightly

All potato production in 2017 totaled 442 million cwt, up slightly from the 2016 crop. Harvested area, at 1.02 million

acres, was up 1 percent from 2016. The average yield of 431 cwt per acre was down 2 cwt from the previous year.

Spring potato final production for 2017 totaled 19.8 million cwt, 30 percent above the previous year. Harvested area, at

57,700 acres, increased 20 percent from 2016. The average yield for spring potatoes was 343 cwt per acre, up 27 cwt from

2016.

Summer potato production was 21.7 million cwt for 2017, an 11 percent increase from 2016. Harvested area, at

65,500 acres, was up 8 percent from 2016. The average yield of 331 cwt per acre was up 8 cwt from 2016.

Fall potato production was estimated at 401 million cwt for 2017, down 1 percent from the 2016 crop. Area harvested in

2017 was 901,700 acres, 1 percent below the previous year. The average fall potato yield, at 444 cwt per acre, was down

3 cwt from 2016.

The value of all potatoes sold in 2017, at $3.77 billion, increased 1 percent from the previous year. The average price, at

$9.10 per cwt, was up $0.02 from 2016. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2017 crop totaled 413 million cwt, up

1 percent from 2016. Quantity sold accounted for 93 percent of 2017 production, unchanged from the previous year.

Growers from the 22 estimating States sold 279 million cwt of raw potatoes to processors from the 2017 crop, up

4 percent from 2016. Table stock sales totaled 107 million cwt, 6 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of

24.7 million cwt were down 6 percent from 2016. Sales for livestock feed, at 1.82 million cwt, increased 68 percent from

2016.

Shrinkage and loss was estimated at 24.7 million cwt for 2017, 7 percent below 2016. Potatoes used for livestock feed on

farms where grown and home use totaled 854, 000 cwt, a 26 percent increase from the previous season. Growers kept

3.53 million cwt for seed on their own farms, down 2 percent from 2016.

United States potatoes used for processing totaled 282 million cwt, down 1 percent from 2016. Potatoes used for chips

and shoestrings totaled 58.8 million cwt, down 3 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen

products utilized 170 million cwt of raw potatoes, down slightly from 2016. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled

45.8 million cwt, down 5 percent from 2016. Canning use, at 1.86 million cwt, was down 4 percent from the previous

year. Other products made from potatoes utilized 6.16 million cwt of potatoes, a 3 percent increase from 2016.

Statistical Methodology

Survey Procedures: Potato estimates are the results of a variety of surveys. Summer and fall potatoes are included in the

June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. For spring potatoes, March

Quarterly Agricultural Surveys and Grower Special Surveys are the source of data. Telephone follow-up of mail survey

non-respondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each

season to provide additional details about the crop.

Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys along with federal

administrative data is used to establish estimates of acreage, production, amount sold, and usage on farm where grown.

These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates.

Revision Policy: All estimates for the previous crop year can be revised at this time. However, acreage is rarely updated.

End-of-season estimates of production are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on

a thorough review of all available data.

Reliability: Survey results are subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data,

and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are

minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for

consistency and reasonableness.
