This seed potato business in southwest Montana is worth many Billions of dollars locally and many more Billions to the finial growers.
Thanks for your reply I knew you would come through.
It came from something I read on the internet that I thought was a wee bit not right.
Due to the same thing you said.
Constant inspection.
If there was something found they would shut the field down for seed potato production from what I have read.
