During the 2020 Potato D.C. Fly-In, U.S. potato growers and allied industry members held a press conference on Capitol Hill calling for the Senate to take up legislation to help secure stable, affordable ag labor for America’s farmers.

Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif), Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.), and Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.), as well as Chuck Conner, President and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, and as Jim Bair, President and CEO of the U.S. Apple Association.
