Episode 25 of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast features an interview with Jim Wiesemeyer, policy analyst with Pro Farmer.

Wiesemeyer has covered agricultural issues since 1978, and in this conversation he discusses what to watch regarding the new administration’s positions on trade, immigration, climate initiatives and more — all areas with significant implications for the fresh produce industry.

This conversation was originally published as a follow-up to a policy discussion at The Packer’s recent West Coast Produce Expo; you can listen to the interview with Wiesemeyer on the player below or on popular listening apps like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or you can watch a video of the conversation here.

In case you’re new to Tip of the Iceberg Podcast, its name serves as a reminder for listeners that these conversations are just a taste of the vast produce industry coverage provided by The Packer newspaper, PMG magazine and always-updating websites for both brands: ThePacker.com and ProduceMarketGuide.com. Hope you enjoy the conversation!
