The Washington Cranberry Commission serves to promote the general welfare of the State to enable cranberry producers to help develop production methods and programs through research that will benefit Washington's cranberry industry by improving efficiencies, economics, quality and quantity. Research funding is primarily focused on control of diseases, insects, weeds and other problems but also funds research in cultural, harvesting and handling practices all associated with improving cranberry production. This information is then offered to the grower community through presentations, workshops and publications. For more information please contact Jack Stein at (360) 580-2940 or jk.stein@comcast.net.
