POTATO ACADEMY DRAWS STRONG ATTENDANCE IN MOSES LAKE

Washington State Potato Commission’s (WSPC) Potato Academy, sponsored by Simplot, McCain Foods, and Lamb Weston, was held in Moses Lake, Washington on February 13, 2026 and drew an impressive turnout of growers, students, and potato enthusiasts.

Attendees explored a wide range of industry-focused topics, including pest management, fungicide selection, soil nutrition, and updates from EPA Bulletins Live! Two. Expert speakers from Washington State University, Reynolds Farm, and WSPC contributed to the program.

The event featured two concurrent tracks, intermediate and advanced, allowing participants to engage with content tailored to their expertise. The interactive format encouraged growers to ask questions and receive practical insights directly from presenters.

The Washington State Potato Commission extends its appreciation to event sponsors—Simplot, McCain Foods, and Lamb Weston for their generous support, which helped make the 2026 Potato Academy a success.
