Part of our mission is to put stories into perspective. During the last few weeks, we've been able to 'travel' to several locations to find out how this pandemic has impacted producers, logistics and end users. This episode features the full conversations had with Frank Muir with the Idaho Potato Commission, Nikki Fried - Florida's Commissioner of Agriculture and Thomas Mantz who is President and CEO of Feeding Tampa Bay. All three had interesting stories of how markets have dried up and trying to fill needs has been different than most any challenge they've faced in their careers.

“I try to remind folks that we aren't going to run out of potatoes. We still have 13 billion pounds of potatoes that we are shipping across America and around the world.” Frank Muir (7:20-7:35)   Frank Muir has served as the President and CEO of the Idaho Potato Commission for the past 17 years. He is leading the charge to help consumers around the world understand that Idaho potatoes are delicious, nutritious, and extremely affordable.    The media is buzzing about a “potato shortage” that could leave us fry-less.   Concerned consumers and businesses alike have been writing in to The Produce Moms to get the scoop on the potato shortage. With dramatic headlines insinuating that America could run out of potatoes - Frank Muir wittily described it as French Fry Famine Fear - we decided to go straight to the source to gather some facts, and put minds (and stomachs) at ease.    In 2019, an early frost and inclement weather from Hurricane Dorian threatened to destroy potato crops not just in Idaho, but in the midwest and parts of Canada.    Idaho farmers and harvesters worked around the clock days before the frost to gather as much of the harvest as possible and were able to get 85% of the crop into storage before the severe weather took out the rest.  Some of the remaining crop was salvageable. The yield varied between 0-5%, meaning some fields did experience a total loss.    While it's hard to determine the long-term impact of a loss of this magnitude, many focus on the loss without taking time to consider all of the facts.    The 2019 harvest yielded 13 billion pounds of potatoes! That's enough to fill an entire football stadium end-to-end and one mile high.    The bottom line: There are still plenty of potatoes for everyone.    “They aren't just good to eat, but they're actually good for you. We've made big strides in returning the Idaho potato to its rightful pedestal as America's favorite vegetable.”  - Frank Muir  (2:30-2:45)   The Harvest Cycle of the Idaho Potato.  To fully comprehend the impact of a diminished harvest on the farmers and consumers alike, it's helpful to understand a little bit more about the harvest cycle of Idaho potatoes.    In Idaho, potatoes are grown along the Snake River Plain that stretches across the bottom third of the state. Potatoes are harvested only once per year, and are then placed in extremely sophisticated climate controlled storage facilities, where they wait to be shipped, sold, and eaten by you!    If you do your best to mimic the climate controlled environment utilized by Idaho potato distributors, your potatoes can last much longer!     “At the end of the day, Idaho potatoes are, dollar for dollar, one of the most nutrient dense foods in the world. I don't know if there is a more affordable commodity in the produce department.”  - Lori Taylor (19:05-19:20)   Impact on the Consumer.   As a Produce Mom, I'm sure you are very familiar with the concept of supply and demand. When supply is down, price increases.    So, how will this affect our potato purchases?    While there's potential for price to increase as the Idaho potato supply tightens, the potato will remain a frugal, nutrient-dense purchase.    Consider this - even if Idaho potatoes doubled in cost, they would still only cost on average between $2.00-$5.00 for a 5lb bag.    Can you think of another vegetable in the produce section that you can purchase for $1 per lb?     “Potatoes are the most economical vegetable you can purchase. Even with a tightening supply and prices going up a little bit, it's still going to be the most valuable return for produce that you can purchase in the grocery store” - Frank Muir (9:45-10:15)   ‘Potato Lovers Month'    Did you know that February is the month to celebrate potatoes?    Baked, fried, or instant, Idaho loves potatoes and wants the world to celebrate with them.    Be on the lookout for displays in one of the over 5000 local grocery stores who participate in the annual display contest, and follow the Idaho Potato Commision on social media to join in the fun!    The Takeaway.   The media outlets have overdramatized the potato crop shortage, leading consumers to believe that the crop may not last through the year.    The Idaho Potato Commission is still promoting and advertising, alongside the vast number of restaurants and grocery stores.   So, never fear, the salty companion to your ketchup should stay hot, fresh, and ready to be dipped for the duration of 2020.    When you're shopping, always look for the ‘Grown in Idaho' seal, to buy the very best potatoes have to offer!   How to get involved Join The Produce Moms Group on Facebook and continue the discussion every week!  Reach out to us - we'd love to hear more about where you are in life and business!

“Even as a little girl, I connected Idaho to potatoes. The branding has become synonymous with the crop and it's quite impressive.” - Lori Taylor (3:04 - 3:10) Lori TaylorThe Produce Moms Not all potatoes are created equal.   Potatoes are one of the most widely used food sources in the world, and they have an abundance of benefits that make them a staple in many different diets. They are packed with nutrients, they are affordable, and nearly everyone loves them, even children. Potatoes provide complex carbohydrates, potassium, fiber, and various other vitamins and minerals, making them an ideal food for athletes.   However, not all potatoes are created equal. Idaho potatoes are of the highest quality you can find in the United States. There are over twenty varieties grown in Idaho, and they are even certified as heart-healthy by the American Heart Association (AHA). A combination of characteristics sets Idaho potatoes apart from the rest. From the ideal climate and growing conditions, and the creative marketing and community outreach by the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC), Idaho potatoes are simply the best.   “If you're looking for a food that's high in potassium, good for hearts, and good for families, the Idaho potato is perfect.” - Frank Muir (7:33-7:38)   What makes Idaho Potatoes so great?   Idaho has near-perfect conditions for growing potatoes. The high desert climate provides warm days and cool nights during the growing season, resulting in delicious potatoes with a fluffy texture. The Snake river supplies a steady stream of clean, clear water along the river valley, and the fertile volcanic soil is rich with trace minerals that are ideal for growing potatoes. Although the potatoes are harvested once a year in the Fall, Idaho has a sophisticated storage system with controlled humidity and temperature, making sure fresh potatoes are available year-round.   Besides growing great potatoes, the IPC also engages in creative marketing and community outreach programs. Every year, they tour the country with the Idaho Potato Truck to raise awareness for various charities. They have supported Meals on Wheels and Go Red for Women, along with numerous other local causes across the country. The IPC also partners with Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome (RODS), an event that raises funds to find homes for orphaned children with Down Syndrome from around the world.   “Sometimes I've referred to the Idaho potato as the world's largest multivitamin because it's loaded with micronutrients and potassium.” - Frank Muir (19:34 - 19:43)   Potatoes suffered through a period of decreased consumption during the low-carb phase, but recent consumer trends data has shown that they are making a comeback. That's excellent news because potatoes provide you with some of the best nutritional value for the price you pay. Remember to look for the “Grown In Idaho” seal the next time you're at the store to make sure you're getting the highest quality potatoes from Idaho.

MERRY CHRISTMASThe Glums first appeared in a regular series of sketches during the 1950s in the BBC radio programme, Take It From Here. In the radio version, Pa Glum (Jimmy Edwards) was a bad-tempered old boozer with a tendency to "rant and rave" at his gormless son, Ron (Dick Bentley). The other regular character was Ron's fiancee, Eth (June Whitfield). The original series of sketches ended in March, 1960. The family reappeared briefly in 1962 as part of Jimmy Edwards' BBC television series, Faces Of Jim. In 1978, Frank Muir and Dennis Norden revived The Glums for a series of short sketches in an ITV variety programme, Bruce Forsyth's Big Night. Jimmy Edwards reprised his role as Pa Glum, with Ian Lavender and Patricia Brake taking over the roles of Ron and Eth. A second series of programmes was screened in 1979, each programme consisting of new versions of two of the original radio scripts from the 1950s.
