Thanks to Secretary Tom Vilsack for joining us today to talk with the #potato growers who supply America with nutritious, delicious potatoes and deliver $100.9 billion in activity for the U.S. economy. We also took the opportunity to thank the Secretary for his leadership over two Administrations in helping open the full Mexican market to fresh U.S. potatoes - a victory two decades in the making!
