Surplus of spuds: Washington farmers rush to donate 1 million pounds of potatoes
Farmers across the state are stuck with potatoes, as the coronavirus crisis slows demand for frozen french fries.
”We have a lot of processing potatoes that should have been cut into those great potatoes, those french fries that we all love and enjoy, but now they're not,” said Matt Harris, the director of governmental affairs for the Washington State Potato Commission.
The demand for Washington's potato crop is down, with restaurants being closed or offering limited menus.
"If we can't sell this crop, we've got to do something with it, we just can't throw it away and dispose of it,” said Harris.
