Alsum Farms & Produce grows plenty of potatoes, but the organization
also ships produce from numerous other operations all over the
Midwest and Eastern U.S.
ALSUM, Continued from page 21
farm for equipment includes GPS
controls in our tractors, computerized
control systems for seed and fertilizer
placement along with many other
areas. Technology has allowed us
to improve efficiency and accuracy
of our farm operations. New seed
varieties have allowed us to fit into
market windows and meet unique size
requirements. A combination of all
factors has allowed farmers to increase
yields and quality to meet customer
demands using fewer resources.
Alsum Farms & Produce has 27 trucks and 80 refrigerated trailers in
its shipping fleet.
SM: You're part of the Healthy Grower
program. Why is that important?
LA: When the Healthy Grown program
started in 1996, we had only been
farming for five years on our own
(although we had been packing potatoes
for 23). I was eager to learn about the
Integrated Pest Management
(IPM)
concepts and the collaboration with
UW-Extension. I feel that there is always
room for improvement in everything
we do and the HG program provided
many new and progressive ideas
about farming and the environment.
The concept of collaborating with
environmental groups, such as the
World Wildlife Fund and International
Crane Foundation, also gave us as
potato growers a different perspective
on the environment and how to
proactively be involved in protecting
and improving the world we live in. As
farmers, we understand that the land
we farm is the source of life, food,
jobs and it is our responsibility and
opportunity to preserve and care for the
land and environment.
