Blackfoot, Idaho is the center of Idaho?s potato country, and home to an area that is dedicated to the production of the Russet Burbank potato - the large, perfectly-shaped potatoes that are commonly found as restaurant baked potatoes or fast food French fries. When potato harvest time comes, stores and schools are closed so that citizens can become seasonal laborers for the potato harvest. Fifty years ago the average farm size in the Blackfoot area was about 200 acres; today, most potato operators farm thousands of acres or more with the aid of millions of dollars of equipment. .
