In this file photo released from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Chad Hutchinson, a horticultural sciences associate professor, shows healthy potatoes at UF’s Florida Partnership for Water, Agriculture and Community Susatainability at Hastings. More than 150 years after the infamous Irish potato famine, farmers and scientists are still fighting potato late blight, which caused the disaster. Hutchinson said Northeast Florida farmers are not likely to see widespread outbreaks of the disease this year.
