“Although this growing season has seen some challenges, we anticipate a good harvest this year with excellent product available to go to market with,” said Coleman Oswald, director of sales at Eagle Eye Produce. “We experienced higher than normal temperatures this summer with very little precipitation, which may lead to lower than anticipated yields. With the reduced yields, we anticipate strong and active markets this season, which we are currently seeing take shape as harvest begins.”
Along with new crop, Eagle Eye Produce will introduce new packaging, including new Harvest Select® retail bins. It has also invested heavily into its packing and storage facilities in Idaho over the past year, with state-of-the-art equipment that will reduce labor, improve quality and contribute to more consistent packs year-round.

Eagle Eye Produce’s year-round potato programs are fully integrated. This structure allows for one-stop loading of Russet, red, yellow and value- add products from its facilities in Idaho.
