Our industry is committed to offering solutions to some of the most critical challenges facing society by providing tools to address global food security and promoting the value of every drop of water used in thriving, healthy communities. It’s up to us to make sure leaders in Washington recognize the value of our industry and the solutions we provide to some of the significant challenges facing our country.
The IA’s fly-ins provide the opportunity for industry leaders to join IA staff to head to Capitol Hill to meet with key decision-makers to advance priorities. Past fly-ins have included impactful discussions with policymakers on topics including the farm bill, H-2B labor issues and drought impact. For information about future events or how to become more involved in the IA’s advocacy program, contact Nathan Bowen.
