Thats a vague question, difficult to determine what exactly you are looking for so ill just give you a shotgun answer and hope its helpful.
By far the largest produced crop is barley, followed by oats, potato, wheat, and sugar beet in that order. Hemp, rapeseed, carrots, cucumber, rye, and tomato are also grown in significant amounts. The spice caraway also grows quite well, as we produce about 28% of the global supply.
I know a person who grows wine grapes, but I don't know the exact details of how plausible this would be in vitubia, and to be honest the grapes weren't that good, but that might just be that particular person's crop being shit that year, idk.
Majority of agricultural production lies between the 60th and 65th parallels.
Subarctic agriculture has a few advantages over subtropical and tropical agriculture. Like the fact that in the summer you get absurdly long daylight hours, meaning that plants get a lot of sunlight, even if that sunlight is less intense than near the equator. I don't know if the added hours make up for the more diluted sunlight intensity, and I don't want to calculate it right now.
Please don't neglect the berry and mushroom production potential of northern /who/! There are a bunch of very nice and interesting berries you could have growing in economically significant numbers in the wild!

Potato specifically is usually planted in May, when the soil temperature reaches around 8 degrees celsius. Some cultivars, the "Early-potatoes" (varhaisperunat, I don't know if there is an English term for them) may be planted earlier, in April or even March if the weather allows for it.These cultivars are ones with relatively low ATU requirements for growth and maturity. The early-potatoes are harvested my the end of May or mid-June. Normal potatoes are harvested late September or early October. I suppose technically, if the winter is mild, you can get two potato harvests this way, although the early-potatoes are usually quite small, and are sold as new potatoes. Incredibly tasty, so you can ask higher prices for them.
Potatoes meant for over-winter storage have the stems of their plants cut off a few weeks before they are harvested, as this helps make their skin thicker and thus helps with how long they last. Ideal potato storage temperature is about 4-5 degrees C. Higher than this and your potatoes may begin to sprout, lower than this and the starch in your potatoes begins to break down into sugars.

Depending on how deep you want to go into this, this wiki page lists the potato cultivars grown here in alphabetical order https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luettelo_Suomen_perunalajikkeista
>Keys to reading
Cultivar, Type, Harvest time/"Earliness", Breeder, Crossbred cultivars.
>Type
Cant believe the English wiki doesn't have potato cultivars listed by the type. Barbarians all of them.
"kiinteämaltoinen" = Low Starch, keeps their shape well when boiled. Can be cut into neat cubes that keep their shapes even after boiling, good for salads and stuff.
"jauhoinen kiinteämaltoinen" = Starch levels something in-between "kiinteämaltoinen" and "yleisperuna".
"yleisperunat" = Common potatoes. They are about average, the jack of all trades of potatoes. Can be used for nearly anything I suppose.
"jauhoiset yleisperunat" = Starch levels something in-between "yleisperuna" and "jauhoinen". Good for frying.
"jauhoinen" = High levels of starch. Become very soft when cooked, making them good for mashed potatoes and baked potatoes.
"tärkkelysperuna" = High levels of starch. Used mostly for food and chemical industrial purposes.
>Earliness
Basically, how fast the plant grows. The difference between a the higher earliness ones and the lower earliness ones is about 4 to 6 weeks, or about 1 to 1.5 months.
>"aikainen"
Descriptor meaning "early"
"varhaisperuna". Harvest in May and June.
"kesäperuna". Summer potatoes. Harvest in June and July.
"syysperuna". Autumn potatoes. Harvest in July and August, I presume. Couldn't actually find anything that told me.
"talviperuna". Winter potatoes. Harvest in September and October, I presume. Couldn't actually find anything that told me.These are the potatoes you'd store to last you over the winter.
>keskiaikainen, myöhäinen
"Middle-time", "late". I suppose these mean the equivalent of "syysperuna" and "talviperuna" respectively.

Hope this is at least somewhat helpful.
