Registration Open for Potato Conference in Idaho

-

The 49th annual Potato Conference, sponsored by the University of Idaho, and the 38th Ag Expo will take place on the Idaho State University camp in Pocatello, January 18-19.

The Potato Conference covers a wide array of industry topics, ranging from variety development, management practices and economics, marketing and political issues.

Commenting on the conference and expo, Danny Mitchell, owner of Milestone International, Inc., said: “It’s always a good idea when someone offers a location for growers. They are able to get together to discuss their products—seed potatoes, what’s going on, what’s coming and what’s going to happen in the next year.”

Included in this conference are the Potato Conference, an Ag Show and a Trade Show.

The University of Idaho includes potatoes, from potato production, crop and weed science, insects and nematodes to nutrition education, in a Program of Distinction within the University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
