The 2019 sweet potato crop in the United States was good, but not as good as producers were hoping. This is the general consensus on the current season, which follows a really though season in 2018. Joshua Wright of Ham Farms says: “Last season, despite tough conditions in the 2018 season, we were able to go crop to crop, but it was really tight. This year’s growing season wasn’t as favorable as we’d hoped, and the supplies will be tight as well – though according to our projections we should be able to go crop to crop again this year.”
