US Potato Growers Converge on Capitol Hill

More than 160 potato growers and industry partners from across the United States met Feb. 25-28 in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the industry's most pressing federal policy priorities. During the four-day Potato D.C. Fly-In, grassroots activists met with federal regulators at USDA and EPA, and took to Capitol Hill, meeting with 129 U.S. Senate and House offices, including 42 which had not been contacted during previous Fly-Ins.
