A look at how R.D. Offutt Farms is caring for the water, soil, and crop today to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

We care about our commitment to sustainable farming, which is why we participate in the Potato Sustainability Alliance (PSA) program which evaluates our operation across environmental, social and operational categories.

At R.D. Offutt Farms, we believe that good farming is about more than just raising a crop—it’s about caring for the land, our neighbors, and the next generation. That’s why every year, we roll up our sleeves and take part in the Potato Sustainability Alliance (PSA) Program, which helps us measure how we’re doing and where we can do even better. The 2024 national results are in, and we’re proud to share how our farm stacks up—alongside hundreds of other potato growers across North America.

Preparing for the growing season is an intricate process of reviewing data, making agronomic recommendations and developing budgets. With the 2025 season directly in front of us, RDO Agronomist William Mack shared the work that he and our RDO agronomy team are doing to prepare before a single potato seed goes into the ground.

For seven consecutive years, R.D. Offutt Farms (RDO) has earned high scores in an industry assessment evaluating potato growers on sustainable practices.
