History Notes
Norland Potatoes were developed in 1951 by a team lead by Robert H. Johansen at the North Dakota Agricultural College (since 1960 called North Dakota State University) in Fargo, North Dakota, from a cross between RedKote potatoes and a potato referred to as “ND626.”
During development, the potato was referred to as “ND2906-1R.”
Released in 1957.
