The Washington State Potato Commission (WSPC) has elected Mike Madsen as its 2019-20 chair. Madsen, a farm unit manager at AgriNorthwest, is an industry at-large member of the WSPC. He has served in various roles with the commission, including chair of the Research and Industry Outreach committee and a member of the Finance and Executive committees.
Madsen’s priorities match those of retiring chair, Roger Hawley. Both are strong supporters of funding high quality potato research and soil health. Madsen also wants to promote the ag story and provide a voice for the growers in Olympia and Washington D.C.
