Initial selections are made from single hill plantings at Powell Butte that are increased and tested at other locations throughout Oregon and the northwest. COARC also assists the local potato industry with disease and insect monitoring (such as aphids).

Potatoes are grown largely for seed that is planted in other areas, with some growers historically involved in fresh market or contracts with the potato chip industry.
