Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association
Interview with Dr. Jeff Wyman
Dr. Jeff Wyman’s responsibilities as Project Coordinator for the Wisconsin Institute for Sustainable Agriculture (WISA) encompass sustainability issues impacting cropping systems in Wisconsin and nationally. In his career as a vegetable entomologist at the University of Wisconsin, he worked closely with the potato and processed vegetable growers in the state. These and other agricultural industries are currently facing important sustainability issues and Wyman’s experience with such systems has been instrumental in forging close linkages between WISA and the WPVGA. Water is an important component of agricultural systems throughout the United States, and WISA is therefore working closely with the WPVGA’s Water Task Force to address water related issues in the Central Sands.
