IN THIS ISSUE

To help you keep up with everything the Commission does on behalf of our growers, we’ve created this magazine to communicate the yearly activities of the NC Sweetpotato Commission. This is the fourth year of providing this magazine, and we hope that, within it’s pages, you will get a glimpse of the diversified activities the Commission is engaged in on YOUR behalf, all with the goal of increasing consumption of North Carolina Sweetpotatoes. Big things are happening in the life of our industry and we’re honored to advocate on your behalf to tell your story.
