Dear Grower,

Please consider the quantities and varieties of generation zero (G0) seed potatoes you would like to request from the Plant Materials Center (PMC) to plant on your farm in 2022. To facilitate our greenhouse production plans for 2021, we will accept order requests through January 31, 2021. We encourage you to renew your seed stocks as often as necessary with disease free seed from the PMC to maintain high quality seed in Alaska production. In this regard, we are here to serve you and provide the industry with a healthy start.

Review the attached variety lists for a selection of public and protected potato varieties. If you do not see a variety on the lists that interests you, please contact us to see if we can produce the variety or recommend a similar one. Based on production logistics, we are setting a minimum order limit of two pounds per variety. The price is $15.00 per pound. Feel free to fax, call, mail, email or submit the enclosed online order form before 1/31/21 to provide enough time for production.

This spring we will implement a new collection process. Payment for G0 seed will be collected when the seed is picked up or prior to being mailed. The same variety of payment options will be available.

Orders will not be accepted from growers with a delinquent account. Please ensure that past balances are paid before ordering new material. Feel free to contact the PMC office at (907) 745- 4469 to verify your account status if necessary. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Sincerely,

Christine Macknicki Potato Program Coordinator (907)745-8021 [email protected]
