MOSINEE, Wis. (WSAW) - UW-Madison marks its 175th anniversary in 2023, and as part of the celebration, university staff members and farmers went on a tour of one of the most unique working spaces in the area, DuBay Cranberry Co. Allison Jonjak, a cranberry specialist with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is at the forefront of an innovative approach to crop expertise. While her current role may seem an obvious fit for Wisconsin, which produces approximately 60% of cranberries in the nation, such specialized positions are a relatively new development.
