The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has certified the 2026 Ginseng Board of Wisconsin election results.

The Ginseng Board of Wisconsin is composed of seven at-large producers who are responsible for administering Wisconsin's Ginseng Marketing Order. The board oversees the collection and use of approximately $215,000 in assessment fees paid by Wisconsin ginseng growers.

This funding is used to support the ginseng industry through research, education, and promotion of Wisconsin-grown ginseng. DATCP administers elections for Wisconsin commodity marketing boards. To learn more about marketing boards, visit https://datcp.wi.gov/Pages/About_Us/MarketingBoards.aspx.
