Crop Transition Conference Proves Valuable

摘要

The 10th annual Crop Transition Conference was held June 21st in Bloomington, Minnesota; a conference many who attend call the most valuable meeting of the year.The meeting which is organized by the United Potato Growers of America (UPGA) was first held in 2008 and was focused only on the red potato market. The leaders at UPGA were aware of how the red market crashed in August every year when the large summer red potato crop hit the market out of Central Minnesota, a region also referred to by many as simply "Big Lake". This was not just a problem for growers in Central Minnesota as the red potato price they set was, and still is inherited by the Red River Valley, the nation's largest red potato growing region.
