The Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association is charged with helping growers conduct and utilize research and technology, garner government support, produce environmentally-sound research and stay in touch with consumers.

WPVGA also supports the Healthy Grown program and sustainable farming practices that use environmentally sound crop inputs, integrated pest management techniques and promotes the conservation of water, resources and Wisconsin’s native ecosystems.
