Rooted in Progress: Envisioning the Future of Michigan's Potato Industry
The Michigan Potato Industry Commission (MPIC) is planning a new Michigan potato industry summit for the summer of 2024. “Rooted in Progress: Envisioning the Future of Michigan’s Potato Industry” is set for June 18-20, 2024, at Crystal Mountain Resort in Benzie County.
“With the ever-changing environment in which research and education operates, it has become increasingly important that the Michigan potato industry partners gather to identify a shared vision of the future toward which to aim,” said Dr. Kelly Turner, MPIC Executive Director. “The goal of this summit will be to develop a series of options for the future and agree on a plan of action to be implemented by MPIC.”
