Manitoba Vegetables Shine At Minneapolis Trade Show
Manitoba top quality fresh vegetables dominated a trade show at the Canadian consulate in Minneapolis on November 2. About 100 vegetable trade reps from Minneapolis–St Paul and environs attended, tied to a one week Canadian boiled dinner promotion by a major Minnesota supermarket chain. The Manitoba department of agriculture promoted crop quality and size, noting the 1978 harvest matches the 1977 crop and benefiting from a lower Canadian dollar. W.A. Ogden of Whamco, Inc. new Manitoba vegetable board representative in the twin cities, discussed market access as two truckloads of Manitoba produce shipped to Red Owl stores accompanied the event. Three Manitoba growers joined marketing staff, including Jim Tableman of the table board, Ed Connery, and David Jeffries.
