Neutral	Farmerdill	On Feb 11, 2006, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: Dutch Introduction. Smoother, thinner yellow skin and deep yellow flesh, shallow eyes with slightly prominent eyebrows. Named after Alby Buehrer, founder of Indian Rock Produce who was instrumental in introducing fingerlings to the fresh market in the late 1980’s. High yielder of large attractive round to oval tubers. Excellent anyway they are prepared. Moderate scab resistance.
