US: Register for Potato Conference by Friday

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 on Wednesday, Jan. 18, and Thursday, Jan. 19. It is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Thursday. Commenting on the conference and expo, Danny Mitchell, owner of Milestone International, Inc., in Blackfoot 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. A small fee is charged to attend classes at the Potato Conference; the Ag Show and Trade Show are free. More
