Welcome to New York State for the 92nd Annual Meeting of The Potato Association of America.

The United Nations has decreed 2008 as the "International Year of the Potato" and we look forward to a productive, friendly and entertaining meeting and social events based on that theme.

Our meeting will follow the traditional schedule of a Sunday evening reception where friends and new friends can meet and socialize. Monday morning begins with a welcome and a symposium presented by the Utilization and Marketing Committee, followed by concurrent sessions in the afternoon and all day on Tuesday.

To entice grower attendance, we will have a concurrent session Tuesday afternoon focused on production and management. Wednesday will be dedicated to tours to Niagara Falls and an Agricultural tour to Wyoming County. Thursday morning will finish concurrent sessions, the annual business meeting in the afternoon and the meeting concludes with the evening Awards Banquet.

There will be many other events and activities in which you can take part, including tours, a golf scramble, silent and live auctions, and a variety show featuring conference attendees.
