Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an archive of a 1913 Wisconsin State Potato Growers Association convention, details the early efforts of this organization to advance commercial potato farming in Wisconsin. Bringing together agricultural experts, business leaders, and farmers, the convention aimed to solve some of the challenges facing the industry and ensure a successful future for potato growers in the state. The book opens with an account of a novel outreach program, utilizing special railroad cars outfitted with potato exhibits, which toured the state to educate farmers about advanced growing techniques and market standards. The convention proceedings that follow include presentations on topics such as potato seed improvement, disease prevention, and marketing strategies. The convention's overarching goal was to establish Wisconsin as a major producer of high-quality seed potatoes, standardized for varietal purity and marketability. To this end, the author emphasizes the importance of community organization, through which growers could pool their efforts to improve production practices and establish a reputation for quality within the state and beyond. This book is not only a valuable historical record of the early development of the potato industry in Wisconsin, but also a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in agriculture.
