UK: John Milner, Next Generation Potato Farmer

Getting Started spoke to John Milner, one of AHDB Potatoes’ Next Generation delegates. John explained the biggest challenges facing the potato industry, as well as what the Next Generation group has offered to him. “I joined the next generation group to gain a further understanding of all areas of the potato industry.

However I believe following consumer habits and consumption closely, interpreting knowledge transfer provided, and producing potatoes that fit into an ever changing 21st century diet, are the main challenges to growers.” More
