Update on Wysocki’s recent program - the Midwest Food Processors Association has Wisconsin
in 2nd place position for production of processing vegetables. http://home.rpespud.com/ We’ve
had our hands full with the wet harvest season. I’m headed out to Bakersfield to help bring our
new plant on line for the next 4 weeks. I guess we don’t know how to slow it down any, but we
have a lot of fun together.
