The object of cutting is to produce uniform seed pieces with an average weight between 1.75 and 2.25 oz (50 and 65 g) (Figure 3.2-2). Growers should consult with their provincial potato specialist or processor field staff for seed size recommendations. Some varieties (Shepody and Yukon Gold) have poor eye distribution and larger seed pieces ranging from 2.25 to 2.50 oz (64 to 71 g) are recommended.
