NWA Joins Produce Industry Advocates at IFPA DC Spring Policy & Regulatory Forum Last week, NWA was in Washington DC with produce industry leaders, joining the International Fresh Produce Association's Spring Policy & Regulatory Forum. The event was a chance for the industry to come together, discuss the critical topics for the industry, and take the message to congress. Leading topics for the meeting included Ag labor, Nutrition, and the coming Farm Bill, which was also discussed at adjoining meetings of the IFPA Government Relations Council, and the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance, both of which are groups where NWA has a seat at the table. NWA was part of a group that met with the offices of both leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
