20 POTATO GROWER | DECEMBER 2021
Making a List,
Checking It Twice
Recapping our list of 50 potato industry power players
If you're a regular reader of Potato Grower, you know that
throughout 2021, we have celebrated our 50th year in
publication by using our pages to recognize some of our most
influential contemporaries in the potato industry's past half-
century. Compiling our "50 for 50" list has been an exercise
in gratitude as we've been reminded of the countless
contributions made by these individuals, companies and
organizations.
Of course, these 50 aren't alone, and there are dozens
who deserve the recognition every bit as much. Alas,
this list was always meant to stop at 50. Here is
a reminder of all the great people we've
profiled this year.
