Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Dave Puglia - Western Growers Association

This week's Open Mic guest is President and CEO of Western Growers Dave Puglia. Specialty crop producers are weighed down by high prices for crop inputs and labor, as well as an astronomical regulatory burden, underscoring the need for a broader national discussion about U.S. food production. Puglia says Canada and Mexico are important trading partners, but outlines changes needed to the USMCA trade accord. He also discusses specialty crop provisions in the pending farm bill and shares how his members are adopting robotics and other advanced technologies.
