Industry Update: Latest efforts to prevent the spread of PEI Potato Wart

It’s been a year since we last checked in on the potato wart situation in Prince Edward Island, Canada. This week, we sat down with Kam Quarles, CEO of the National Potato Council, and Don Flannery, Executive Director of the Maine Potato Board, to talk about the U.S. potato industry's ongoing efforts to prevent the spread of wart to the United States. The group also talked about the release of a bipartisan letter by members of the U.S. Senate urging USDA to implement additional mitigation measures to prevent the introduction of PEI potato wart into U.S. growing areas.This podcast is possible thanks to our presenting sponsor, Syngenta.
