From its earliest days, when Treasury Department Secretary Alexander Hamilton first reported potato export statistics to the House of Representatives (5,318 "barrels" of potatoes were exported in 1790, primarily to islands in the West Indies), the U.S. Government has researched, studied, counted and, of course, regulated what Americans do with potatoes.
This exhibit explores the depth and breadth of Uncle Sam's interest in the humble potato. Not only how potatoes are traded between the U.S. and other nations, but how
they're priced and marketed and harvested and stored and labeled and canned and shipped and frozen and
fertilized and irrigated.
