The crop condition and tuber growth are widely divergent this season across the different potato fields of the Crop Tour. This discrepancy is often due to the differences in planting times, but the abundant water and poor soil structure have also left deep marks on the growing season. The typical Dutch summer ensures that the weather is conducive to growth. This is evident during field inspections. Some fields are in line with other years in terms of crop condition, as shown by comparisons among different Crop Tour fields.
