Farm4Profit Podcast · Specialty Crops: What Every Row Crop Farmer Can Learn · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

Um, I would say from a local standpoint, even if you go in a local grocery store, right, those sweet potatoes are coming from within 30 or 40 miles.

And I've noticed you go out grocery stores outside of North Carolina and their sweet potatoes do look a lot better.

And, and you look at farm side stands and things like that.

And I do think a lot of times, Hey, we're making sure that ideal sweet potato is going, you know, going elsewhere, but locally we understand, Hey, there's nothing wrong with this sweet potato just because of the shape a little bit, you know, I'll still eat it just as good as anybody else.

So, uh, not a scratch and dent market in terms of, you know, you're not going to get a huge discount like you do at Lowe's on a, you know, an refrigerator dent in the front, but, uh,

But, yeah, I would say locally, especially a lot of these roadside stands and stuff, that they may not necessarily have the cream of the crop, if you will.

Those went to the contracts, right?

I would say cotton, no.

But if you ask Corteva, a peanut would.

But locally, right, in the South, we don't consider peanut a specialty crop.

It's a row crop to us.

And I say that kind of tongue in cheek with kind of where Corteva put some of their peanut products kind of falls under the specialty portfolio.

But, um, but you know, I threw that 144 number out earlier.

The way I would look at it is you take that one 44, you pull out corn, cotton, beans, peanuts, maybe I guess grain sore.

And we've got a little bit of that, you know, so you pull out five or six, I would say everything else would probably fall under that specialty.

Um,

Cucurbits, yeah.

That's your cucumbers, your squash, your pumpkins, melons.

Yeah.

So it's a viney.
