🌱 Off-Season, On Purpose – Focus #8: Building Our Future

While the potato crop continues to grow in the field, we're also growing something just as important—our vision for NoKota Packers.

This week our Senior Leadership Team gathered for Vision Building Day 2 with The Greenhouse - Business Coaching to continue shaping the future of our company.

Together we:
✅ Revisited our Core Values and Core Focus
✅ Continued developing our long-term marketing strategy
✅ Set our next quarterly Rocks (goals) through EOS®
✅ Planned how we'll share everything we've built this summer with our full-time and seasonal employees as harvest begins

One of the biggest takeaways from the day was our marketing strategy. We're excited about the direction we're heading, and you may start noticing some new messages, fresh ideas, and updated looks in the weeks ahead.

Everything we're building is rooted in the same purpose we've always had—supporting our growers, serving our customers, investing in our employees, and strengthening our company for generations to come.

The off-season isn't just about preparing equipment...
It's about preparing people, too.

Supporting today. Investing in tomorrow. 🌱

🌱 OFF-SEASON, ON PURPOSE | Focus #7: Watching the Crop Grow

Timely rains over the next several weeks will play an important role in helping maximize yield, maintain quality, and finish the crop strong.

In the coming weeks, our field representative will begin taking plant and tuber samples to monitor crop development, size, and overall health. These regular field checks help us understand how the crop is progressing and prepare for the season ahead.

Nothing beats walking a field, digging a hill, and seeing another harvest taking shape.

Every season writes a different story—and we're excited to see how this one unfolds.

🌱 OFF-SEASON, ON PURPOSE | Focus #7: Watching the Crop Grow

The calendar may say we're in the off-season at the packing plant, but there's nothing "off" about what's happening in the field.

The 2026 potato crop is now about halfway through the growing season, and it's exciting to see the progress our growers have made across the Red River Valley.

In the coming weeks, our field representative will begin taking plant and tuber samples to monitor crop development, size, and overall health. These regular field checks help us understand how the crop is progressing and prepare for the season ahead.

Overall, the fields are looking really strong, and we're encouraged by what we're seeing. Like many across the region, we'd welcome a good soaking rain in our southern growing areas after this extended stretch of heat. Even with the warmer weather, the crop continues to move in the right direction.

There's something special about walking through potato fields during the growing season. Watching the plants mature and seeing another harvest take shape reminds us why we do what we do.

Every season begins with great growers, careful stewardship, and a shared commitment to producing high-quality potatoes.
