Michigan's Potato Industry

Rose White, MLive, "Plucked from the dirt, most MI potatoes are sliced, peeled, fried, salted and turned into chips. As the 8th largest producer of potatoes in the country, MI plays a “critically important” role in the chip industry. About 70% of the MI-grown spuds become chips for brands like Frito Lay, Herr’s, Utz Snacks, Better Made Snack Foods and Great Lakes Potato Chip Co."

Unseasonable Weather a Challenge for Fruit Farmers

Janelle D James, BridgeMI: Fluctuating temperatures can be particularly troubling for fruit farmers who rely on cold temperatures to help the trees “sleep” during the winter. If temperatures are consistently too warm, crops can start to bud too early, putting the flower at risk of freezing and jeopardizing spring and summer fruit production when the temperatures drop again.
