PGI leaders attend North American bargaining meeting

BLACKFOOT, ID — Three PGI leaders attended the PMANA summer meeting in Charlottetown, PEI. They were Dan Moss, Declo, Randy Bauscher, Burley, and Keith Esplin, Blackfoot. The Potato Growers of Idaho support the PMANA's efforts to raise contract prices in all areas of North America. The meeting was productive and showed a renewed commitment on behalf of all present to better organize and work for better prices. It was recognized that all areas of North America as well as other parts of the world need higher contract prices for growers to make a profit. A letter was read by a colleague in Tasmania describing the dire circumstances they are in and their efforts to gain a more fair share of the consumer dollars spent on fries.
