when did the potato come to north america for certain and get used as a crop?
1719
early colonists in virginia and the carolinas may have grown potatoes from seeds or tubers from spanish ships, but the earliest certain potato crop in north america was in londonderry, new hampshire in 1719. the plants were from ireland, so the crop became known as the "irish potato". potatoes were planted in idaho as early as 1838; by 1900 the state's production exceeded a million bushels (about 27,000 tonnes). before 1910, the crops were stored in barns or root cellars, but, by the 1920s, potato cellars or barns came into use. u.s. potato production has increased steadily; two-thirds of the crop comes from idaho, washington, oregon, colorado, and maine, and potato growers have strengthened their position in both domestic and foreign markets.
