GF/EGF City to Farm Tour Highlights Agriculture’s Importance

The Annual City to Farm Tour was in East Grand Forks on Thursday. “This year we focused on the potato industry,” said Barry Wilfahrt, president/CEO, The Chamber. “New Northland Potato Growers Association Director Gary Shields spoke about what the association does for chips, fresh seed and processed potatoes in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.” Wilfahrt says this event is circled on his calenda every year. “Agriculture is still king in the Red River Valley and this event is a way to showcase that.”
