Attendees visited Colorado State University and Morning Fresh Dairy Farm
This week, 2024 NPC President and Colorado potato grower Bob Mattive brought the industry together for NPC’s Summer Meeting, hosted this year in Fort Collins, Colorado. The event included committee and board meetings and updates on the council’s advocacy efforts.
Attendees attended Wednesday morning’s general session at Colorado State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences, lunch at CSU’s Canvas Stadium, a bus tour of CSU’s Agricultural Research, Development and Education Center (ARDEC), and a tour of the Morning Fresh Dairy Farm, a fifth-generation family dairy and supplier for Noosa yogurt.
“It was a privilege and an honor to welcome the industry to Fort Collins and tour my alma mater,” said Mattive, “and we appreciate Dr. Amy Charkowski, CSU’s Research Associate Dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences, for bringing together such an impressive group of researchers and staff to speak to our group. Thanks to all the sponsors from across the country and local to Colorado for their support of this important meeting for our industry.”
Throughout the week, the group got a taste of Fort Collins, featuring meals, entertainment, and activities throughout the city.
Thanks to all those who joined us and we’re looking forward to hosting the industry again January 9-10 at Potato Expo 2025 in Orlando, Florida!

Without the support of our national and Colorado-based partners, this important meeting would not have been possible.
