The Grower: Production Strategies for Commercial Growers reported on the introduction of two potato varieties developed by the University of Maine in partnership with the Maine Potato Board. The new varieties — the Easton and the Sebec — were developed over the past several growing seasons and are targeted for the french fry and potato chip industries, although both can be used for fresh market consumption.
