MADISON
– Wisconsin’s ginseng producers have re-elected two directors, Robert Kaldunski
and Aaron Kaiser, both of Edgar, to the industry’s market orders board. The
directors 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 $225,000 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.
