Ag Labor Solutions – Is 2021 the Year Congress Delivers?
Show Notes

During Potato Expo 2021, Craig Regelbrugge, Senior Vice President of AmericanHort, joined NPC CEO Kam Quarles for a discussion about how the new political dynamics could impact the ability to pass bipartisan ag labor reform. Regelbrugge says the problem is the middle has largely fallen out of our politics, and the agriculture community must find enough supporters in Congress to come together as we did in 2019-2020.

Plus, as the teams at USDA and the House and Senate Agriculture Committees begin to take shape, Kam calls in to provide a Washington update and previews some of the issues that will take center stage during February's Potato D.C. Fly-In.
