something Morris learned from Schneider's example,
the passion for farming has been there since Morris
was a small boy.
" I've always known what I wanted to do, I've never
had any doubt, " Morris said. " I remember when I
was a little kid, my aunt asked me if I wanted to be a
farmer when I grew up and I got mad and said, 'I am
a farmer!' "

Potato Field with Spudman " podcast.
Congratulations
Rookie
of the
Year
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR: GUTHRY LAURIE,
WALTHER FARMS
A new aspect to the Dream Team this year, the
Rookie of the Year, is to recognize someone taking
their career to new heights. Laurie participated
in the 2020 Potato Industry Leadership Institute
(PILI), where he was voted as the standout member
of the group by his peers. Laurie also became a
commissioner of the Michigan Potato Industry
Commission in 2019.
In addition to his participation in PILI,
Laurie was named a commissioner for the Michigan
Potato Industry Commission in 2019 for a threeyear
term.
While relatively new to outside-farm leadership
roles, Laurie has been in the potato industry for
13 years. As farm manager of chipping potatoes
producer Walther Farms' mid-Michigan operation,
Laurie has to keep tabs on what's happening in
numerous plots of land spread out over a large
geographic area, what's happening in storage and
working with the supply chain.
" I put out a lot of fires, " joked Laurie, who grew
up on a dairy farm. " It's kind of funny I'm the rookie
on the team, since 2020 was my 13th season. None
of them have been the same, but that's what I like
about potatoes. It's a complex crop and there are
always challenges. "

Potato Field with Spudman " podcast.
