AmericanHort Calls on Congress for Economic Support for Specialty Crops
AmericanHort joined a coalition of over 50 agricultural organizations in urging Congress to provide economic assistance for farmers, including specialty crop growers, facing increasing and sustained financial losses. Despite recent USDA programs, significant losses remain across the horticulture sector due to prolonged high costs and market pressures. While short-term assistance programs are helpful, additional support is needed to stabilize operations and keep horticulture businesses viable until longer-term aid reaches growers. The letter urges swift congressional action to provide meaningful relief for the specialty crop industry.
