MADISON – Wisconsin’s ginseng producers have re-elected one director, Ronald
Krautkramer, Athens, and elected another director, Keary Drath, Ogdensburg, to
the industry’s market orders board. They will serve a three-year term,
starting July 1.
The
seven-member Ginseng Board of Wisconsin is responsible for overseeing the
collection and use of about $170,000 in assessment fees paid by Wisconsin
ginseng producers. The money is used to support the industry through research,
market development and consumer education.
The
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) administers
elections for the Ginseng Board of Wisconsin and other commodity marketing
boards in the state.
