Research is a critical tool as we work to feed a growing population here in the U.S. and around the world. During each NPC Washington Summit, the National Potato Council, along with growers and state partners, head to Capitol Hill to educate lawmakers about the importance of funding key research programs. 

Joining the discussion is NPC CEO Kam Quarles and the state manager from Michigan, Kelly Turner, the Executive Director of the Michigan Potato Industry Commission, to talk about the importance of research and how it is helping America’s potato growers produce more with less. 

Guests: 

• Kam Quarles, CEO, NPC
• Kelly Turner, Executive Director, Michigan Potato Industry Commission
