Growers Supporting Growers In DC

摘要

Every February, potato growers from across the country descend upon the nation's capital. What causes this annual migration? Their commitment to fighting for a better future for their businesses and the entire U.S. potato industry.Hosted by the National Potato Council, the Potato D.C. Fly-In provides an opportunity for potato growers and allied industry partners to educate federal policy makers on issues that could impact their farms and businesses for years to come. This event has grown in importance each year, as new members of the House of Representatives and Senate are elected who increasingly have little connection to production agriculture or rural America. These officials need the common-sense perspective of our industry as they seek to solve some of our country's largest challenges.
