Potatoes are grown in large quantities near me in the Red River Valley (border of Minnesota and North Dakota). One of our processing facilities in Grand Forks makes the french fries for McDonalds. One of the largest farms here in the area Black Gold also has farms in the south. It would probaly depend on your rotation. Potatoes, soybeans, corn Sugar beets are definitely grown near here also. Rotation typically being sugar beets, barley, soybean or sugar beets, corn, soybeans. To go on a side rant I wonder if a great amount of beer is drank, if it is having barley in the rotation would make sense if not corn for biofuel production or animal feed. We also have canola further north which is rotated canola, wheat, soybeans. Or you can have winter canola further south by Oklahoma and have winter canola, wheat, wheat.
When your thinking fallow are you saying that a cover crop is grown such as turnips or clover and then composted in along with manure from district 10?
