list and seven years as a potato varieties grower, Jan-Eric Geersing decided to start growing by himself while working on the crop protection field. His interest for cultivation started when young, this business was passed down to him by his father at an early age. He followed the breeding program that his father Marchienus Geersing had started. While studying at the Agricultural College in Dronten, it was a logical decision to start a six-month internship at the Hettema breeding company, where his father&#8217;s educational breeding programme was adopted.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd2e1be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd2e1be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>The first variety \u201cMarcelle\u201d<\/h4><p>The first steps were made in 2003 and within ten years the first variety called Marcelle was obtained and managed to enter the European variety list. Meanwhile, several activities were being developed under the name Geersing Potatoes. An organic arable plot in the Poppe\u2019s family farm in Nagele was dedicated for the cultivation program. In addition, four satellite test fields were set up elsewhere in the country to test the selected varieties more widely.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-337e2ba\" data-id=\"337e2ba\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fe61c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fe61c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Autonomous Dutch Growers<\/strong><\/h4><p>A former connection with Caithness Potatoes was re-established and so it was decided to approach a group of autonomous Dutch breeders to start growing potatoes for Caithness under the lead of Geersing Potatoes. Since 2004, in order to study the results of their seedlings on the test field in Essex and the cultivation of seed potatoes, the group of autonomous growers have been making annual trips to England and Scotland together with the local growers which have been working alongside Geersing Potatoes from the beginning.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31bc017 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31bc017\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Caithness Potatoes<\/h4><p>The collaboration with Caithness Potatoes was expanded even further by bringing varieties\u00a0 into attention in the Netherlands.

It was decided in 2011 to carry on with the coordination on the cultivation works and the activities to further develop varieties under the name Caithness Potatoes Holding B.V.\u00a0 20% shares of which were transferred to Geersing Potatoes and the rest to partners in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-39cda96 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39cda96\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d3e602c\" data-id=\"d3e602c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07c8a28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"07c8a28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>More Varieties\u00a0<\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Geersing Potatoes continues its own activities in the cultivation field to follow up on the success of Marcelle while keeping the role of shareholder on Caithness Potatoes Ltd.
