Key Players Talk About Growing Issues in the Canadian Potato Industry with Videos on SpudSmart.com

PRLog (Press Release) - May 10, 2011 - May 10, 2011—Spud Smart magazine, published by Issues Ink, has launched a comprehensive web video series focusing on issues Canadian growers are facing. Spudvideo, housed on SpudSmart.com, is a streaming video sequence that offers four to five sound bites on different topics from leaders in the Canadian potato industry, topics that include pest and disease control, government regulations, research and many others.

The spudvideo series takes ease of use to a new level by dividing each clip into one- to two-minute segments, which are titled for easy selection of a segment of interest. Spudvideo’s extension, From the Floor, includes video clips shot “from the floor” of key Canadian potato industry events across North America and focuses on new products, equipment and resources that industry suppliers have to offer growers.

“We want to help the industry better share ideas and observations—especially since we are the only media source with a specific commitment to the Canadian sector of the global potato industry,” says Craig Armstrong, vice-president of business development for Issues Ink. “We hope that industry will come forward and be eager to participate in this series in an effort to provide solutions for the growers.”

Spud Smart is a magazine with a mission: to provide a national voice which invigorates innovation and shows a common path forward to solutions for the profitability of the Canadian potato sector. Focused on the issues affecting the Canadian potato industry, Spud Smart reaches potato growers, processors, industry suppliers, and policy makers.
