Presenter Allison Jonjak will provide a crash course on how the geography, climate, sociology, and farming culture of Wisconsin combine to make the most productive cranberry region in the world.
Allison 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.
