(Madison) The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection has recently certified the results of the 2024 Wisconsin Cherry Board Election. Barry Peterson of Green Bay and Terry Sorenson of Sturgeon Bay began three-year terms on the board in July. The Wisconsin Cherry Board is composed of five at-large growers responsible for administering Wisconsin’s Cherry Marketing Order.
The board oversees the collection and use of approximately $55,000 in assessment fees paid by the Wisconsin cherry growers. This funding is used to support the cherry industry through research, education and promotion of Wisconsin-grown cherries. The DATCP administers elections for Wisconsin commodity marketing boards.
