Senator Bill Hansell (R-Athena) expressed his thanks to Oregon’s potato growers, who donated 36,000 pounds of potatoes – or 18 tons – to the annual Capitol Food Drive.

Oregon's potato growers play a very important role in Oregon's agriculture economy. I am so grateful to the farmers who came together to make this significant donation to Oregon's families in need," said Hansell. Oregon potato growers have made a similar-sized donation to the annual food drive at Oregon's Capitol building every year in recent memory.  Read full press release here.

About Oregon Potato Commission

The Oregon Potato Commission is one of 23 agricultural commodity commissions in Oregon and was formed in 1949 to represent the potato industry in educational, trade development, research, legislative affairs, and public relations activities.

Growers from five potato producing districts in Oregon (Blue Mountain, Central Oregon, Klamath, Malheur and Willamette Valley) are appointed to serve as commissioners.
