Greenhouse Grower's Grower to Grower podcast has released a new episode featuring Kamron Newberry, the Regulatory and Trade Policy Coordinator for AmericanHort. The series, produced by Greenhouse Grower, is built around conversations with the growers, leaders and innovators shaping the future of floriculture, and it covers topics ranging from advanced technology and next-generation plants to business challenges and changing consumer patterns. Editor Brian D. Sparks conducted the recent conversation with Newberry.

Trade Policy and Border Issues in Focus

In the episode, Newberry addresses trade and tariff policy, which the article describes as a defining pillar of the Trump administration, and discusses how growers can make sure they have the information they need as they plan for the coming year. He also explains how AmericanHort tracks plant movement across the border and the phytosanitary issues that come with that work. Newberry's background in horticulture, according to the piece, prepared him well for his current regulatory and trade role.

The episode is available where listeners find their podcasts, and the program invites growers and members of their teams to appear as future guests. Phytosanitary rules govern how plants may be moved, and AmericanHort's tracking work follows plant movement across the border, giving growers a clearer view of the requirements that shape cross-border trade.
