We took them to see several of our pol- linator habitat plantings and also a tour of a potato storage warehouse. We received dozens of questions throughout the day from all of the attendees with very well thought out questions regarding all aspects of potato production and crop pro- duction in general. At every stop and every topic, there were lots of questions and the discourse and interaction was very healthy throughout the two days they spent learning more about potato produc- tion side by side with the agrono- mists and farm management.” The tour ended with a visit to another potato field where water management was discussed and then another visit to a pollinator habitat. The entire crew then enjoyed a din- ner at Zorbaz pizza house, a staple restaurant on the lakes of Minnesota. The next morning everyone was off to the Minneapolis airport for their flight back to Washington, DC. William Mack from R.D. Offutt Company Farms presenting about potato pro- duction models they use.
