Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Cathy Burns-International Fresh Produce Association
This week's Open Mic guest is Cathy Burns, CEO of the International Fresh Produce Association. Specialty crop growers face economic headwinds of rising input costs, a lack of available labor, and a loss of revenue. Burns and members of the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance are appealing to Congress to find additional financial support for growers across all 50 states. She explains why IFPA supports the new Dietary Guidelines and the impact they will have on government feeding programs and the health and well being of all Americans.
