SAN LUIS VALLEY POTATOES
Potatoes,
potatoes, potatoes! Over 75,000 acres of fall crop potatoes
are grown in the San Luis Valley (south central Colorado). The
Valley offers a near perfect environment for growing potatoes.
Elevation of the Valley’s floor varies from 7,500 to 8,000
feet above sea level and stretches roughly 60 miles from east
to west and 120 miles north to south.
Fertile soil, warm summer
days and cool summer nights, combined with modern irrigation
methods and expert growing techniques insure
excellent growing conditions for potatoes.
