(Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin farmers are asking you to eat more potatoes.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Grower Association is reminding Wisconsinites to get their potatoes and veggies locally. The state is the third largest producer of potatoes in the country, but most of the spuds are shipped out of state.

Spokesperson Dana Rady says when you’re buying potatoes in the store, to look for the stamp that says Wisconsin Healthy Grown, to know you’re helping out local farmers.
