AgJobs push gaining momentum

Last night at the opening reception of the Produce Marketing Association's annual board meeting, I had a chance to chat with a few people about this week's big push to make Congress more aware of AgJobs.

Anthony Barbieri of Acme Markets, whom PMA's Kathy Means called one of the biggest advocates, says he has contacted five Congressional offices. Look in the April 23 edition of The Packer for a guest column on the subject by Barbieri, co-penned by Ed Kershaw of Domex.

This is truly an effort that needs full industry support. If you haven't contacted your Congressperson, do so ASAP.
