"Cranberries: How Wisconsin Became the Best": In-Person Badger Talk in New Richmond, WI
Advertisement
This is a free, in-person talk hosted on August 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM by Friday Memorial Library in New Richmond, WI. No registration required. This talk will not be available virtually.
A crash course in how the geography, climate, sociology, and farming culture of Wisconsin combine to make the most productive cranberry region in the world.
Allison Jonjak grew up on a cranberry marsh founded by her grandfather in 1939. Studying ag engineering and soil chemistry, she worked with row crop farmers until the University of Wisconsin created a Cranberry Outreach Specialist position. This allowed Allison to return to her favorite state and work keeping a tight feedback loop between growers and researchers of her favorite crop.
