The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has certified the 2025 Wisconsin Cherry Board election results.
The Wisconsin Cherry Board is composed of five at-large members who are responsible for administering Wisconsin’s Cherry Marketing Order. The board oversees the collection and use of approximately $60,000 in assessment fees paid by Wisconsin cherry growers. This funding is used to support the cherry industry through research, education, and promotion of Wisconsin-grown cherries.
Chris Lautenbach of Fish Creek and Jim Seaquist of Ellison Bay began three-year terms as elected members of the board on July 1.
