Just West of me is a small town called Manhattan, MT.

Each summer rows and rows of trucks line up to be filled with seed potatoes grown in Manhattan.

All of those trucks drive back to Idaho...

Great potatoes, BTW!

So they are really Montana potatoes they are selling. Maine, the better potatoes state does not need to important our spuds.

McCain also controls our industry which is primarily in far northern Maine.

When my daughter lived in Whistler, BC, we learned that most seed potatoes are started north of Whistler and then transplanted into southern Idaho. I had no idea the potato industry was so specialized. Climates are ideal for different stages of the potato life cycle. I wonder if those maturing Idaho potatoes miss Whistler and Manhattan.

I always love flying into Boise and seeing their nice welcoming sign in the baggage claim area. It always cracks me up...
