Potato Farming
NAICS 111211 · United States · 2022 edition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing potatoes and/or producing seed potatoes.
Review the farm operation beyond the crop.
Potato Farming combines production risks with equipment, premises and labor concerns. Review crop loss, agricultural equipment, farm property. Ask about custom work for others, storage and added processing; those activities need their own coverage discussion.
Questions to ask
- What is the total planted acreage, and is production primarily for table stock, processing, or certified seed?
- Is federal multi-peril crop insurance currently in place, and at what coverage level?
- What is the estimated value of on-farm cold-storage inventory at peak season?
- Are there any on-farm processing, packing, or direct-sales operations beyond field production?
- What is the approximate number of seasonal versus year-round employees, and in which states do they work?
- For Potato Farming, what should the underwriter know about operations in regions with high late blight or disease pressure without documented crop protection practices?
- For Potato Farming, what should the underwriter know about significant uninsured cold-storage inventory during peak harvest and storage periods?
- For Potato Farming, what should the underwriter know about prior crop insurance claims suggesting yield instability or recurring loss patterns?

Potato farming operations plant, cultivate, and harvest potatoes for commercial sale or seed potato production. Operations typically involve significant acreage, heavy agricultural equipment such as planters and harvesters, on-farm storage facilities, and seasonal labor. Some operations sell directly to processors or packagers; others produce certified seed potatoes for sale to other growers.
