For the first time since February 2020, the NPC Executive Committee met in person this week for policy and organizational discussions. Graciously hosted by 2021 President and Maine potato grower Dominic LaJoie and the Maine Potato Board, the meeting took place in Presque Isle where the group visited the operations of the McCrum fry plant, LaJoie Growers LLC, and LaBrie Farms LLC.
“It was wonderful to be able to meet in person with my colleagues on the NPC Executive Committee and to show off our great industry here in Maine. I’m extremely thankful how NPC and the entire potato industry has dealt with the past 15months. We are very optimistic about the reopening of our country and a strong return to more normal times as the Potato Expo 2022 approaches,” said LaJoie.
