US potato industry announces salad bar grant
Now, the East Grand Forks, Minn.,-based Northern Plains Potato Growers Association has launched another go-around of a program that puts free salad bars in schools.
The association will pay the cost, nearly $3,000, to place one of the salad bars in a school district in North Dakota or northwest Minnesota.
Potatoes USA will match the donation to a second school district in that area. Potatoes USA, formerly known as the U.S. Potato Board, is the nation's potato marketing organization.
Last year, the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association donated a salad bar to the Park River, N.D., School District. Potatos USA matched the donation with a salad bar in the Fort Yates, N.D., School District.
