Sunrain Varieties LLC, known for its innovation, expertise and dedication to fresh potato seed development, announces the recent purchase of a 1,600-acre farm in the Victor-Driggs, Idaho area.
“This acreage will be used primarily for early generation seed production and we look forward to a great fall harvest,” said Sunrain business manager Aron Derbidge
The company also plans the construction of a world-class storage and grading facility on the property. “With on-site sorting and sizing, Sunrain will be able to offer the trade of pre-sized seed lots,” Derbidge said. “Sunrain is continually striving to help our customers save time and money in the planting process, so this addition makes good sense.”
Sunrain will be holding a new product showcase and open house on August 13, 2014, at its Idaho facility. Contact Rainey Carraballo at rcarraballo@potandon.com for more info or a facility tour.
