Welcome
On behalf of the Washington-Oregon Potato
Conference Board of Directors it is my pleasure to
welcome you to our Virtual 2021 Potato Conference and
Trade Show.
2020 was an extremely challenging year for the entire
potato industry. While we are hopefully going to be
moving beyond the pandemic and forging a new
“normal” soon, in the mean time we need to take safety
precautions like having a virtual show instead of meeting
in person. Nothing can replace the value of meeting in
person and having direct conversations, we are doing
our absolute best to provide as much valuable content
as possible by continuing to have top-notch speakers,
pesticide recertification credits for multiple states, ag
innovation sessions and our cultivar session.
A major part of our conference each year is the Trade
Show. Many growers over the years have said that the
Trade Show is the main reason that they attend the
Conference. We have done our best to try to put together
a virtual Trade Show that has many of the vendors you
would normally see at the event making use of virtual
booths. These booths will feature some of the products
and services that are being offered in the coming year as
well as a way for you to communicate electronically with
those vendors.
We greatly appreciate your participation in our show
as either a sponsor, vendor or an “attendee.” Without
individuals like you, we could not have a quality show like
we have planned. Please enjoy the Virtual Conference
and be sure to visit the Trade Show portion to support
those vendors who are supporting you.
I look forward to being able to meet again in person,
until that time, thank you again for attending our virtual
conference.
Dale Lathim, Chair,
Washington-Oregon Potato Conference

Reception & PAC Auction
The Annual Reception and PAC Auction are a
highlight at our Conference each year. While we
cannot meet in person, we will still be holding
a Reception and PAC Auction each day during
the noon lunch hour. We would appreciate you
dropping in. Prizes will be given out at random
to those that attend. Wine baskets paired with
Cougar Cheese, S’mores baskets for a family
night in and more!
We encourage you to check in and help out the
PAC Auction. The Washington Potato and Onion
Association (WPOA) will have a booth you can
check out to see what will be available for the
auction. Stopping by will also ensure you get a
first look at any bloopers that may happen in this
new Virtual World we are in!
You can virtually chat with your peers while
checking out the PAC Auction and a segment
from the new Season 8 of WA Grown.
The Potato PAC is a non-partisan political
action committee dedicated to helping
agriculture-friendly candidates get elected to
state office. Potato PAC was formed in 2002
and has made contributions to candidates from
all parts of the state who have demonstrated
support for agricultural issues ranging from
employment and transportation to crop protection
and water use.
Please contact Randi Hammer at 509-521-4701
or randim32@aol.com with questions and items
you would like to donate to the Auction. Thank
you for your support and consideration.
