Wisconsin Cherry Board election results announced
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has certified the 2024 Wisconsin Cherry Board election results.
These cherry growers began their terms on the board on July 1:
- Barry Peterson of Green Bay
- Terry Sorenson of Sturgeon Bay
The board members serve three-year terms on the cherry board.
The cherry board is composed of five at-large growers who are responsible for administering Wisconsin’s Cherry Marketing Order.
Started in 1984, the board oversees the collection and use of approximately $55,000 in assessment fees paid by Wisconsin cherry growers. This funding is used to support the cherry industry through research, education, and promotion of Wisconsin-grown cherries.
The Madison, Wisconsin-based DATCP administers elections for Wisconsin commodity marketing boards. To learn more about marketing boards, visit here.
