ISSUE #2
chance to work across the aisle
and find some solutions.
Is there anything from last
year's discussion that will be
continued this year?
Last year we talked a lot
about transportation efficiency
from the point of availability of
trucking and the rules around
trucking in terms of hours of
services. That issue has subsided
a little bit but still remains a big
issue for growers. Some of these
issues just don't tend to want
to go away. We will be covering
some of the same ground but
again it's a new set of individuals
and a new set of opportunities.
So we will try to see how the
pieces on the chess board can be
moved a little differently than
they could last year.
Why should growers attend the
Potato D.C. Fly-In?
We are very interested and
excited about new faces coming.
The thing that growers and
others involved in the industry
have to understand is that your
congressman probably doesn't
know a lot about agriculture.
It's really about remembering
that you are an important
resource to this member of
Congress or this staff member.
You can speak from your
experience and your
understanding of what you do.
You don't have to know
everything about government
relations, you don't have to
know everything about how the
Congress works. You have to be
able to speak from the heart
about what you do. S
