Potato Growers Converge On Capitol Hill: NPC's Potato D.C. Fly-In Presses For Industry Policy Priorities

摘要

More than 160 potato growers and industry partners from across the country met in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the industry's most pressing federal policy priorities. Included in that group were NPPGA President Chuck Gunnerson; Keith McGovern, CEO R.D. Offutt Company; Minnesota grower Justin Dagen and North Dakota growers Michael Sitzmann, Brian Vculek and Ben Tucker. During the four-day Potato D.C. Fly-In, grassroots activists met with federal regulators at USDA and EPA, and took to Capitol Hill, meeting with 129 U.S. Senate and House offices, including 42 which had not been contacted during previous Fly-Ins.
