When someone pivotal to the fresh produce industry — as Tom Stenzel is — retires, the industry notices.

On the heels of Stenzel’s retirement from leading produce associations, let’s take some time to honor his 30-plus years of service to our industry.

Listen to this “Tip of the Iceberg” podcast episode, in which Tom Karst and Amy Sowder chat with Stenzel about his career, challenges, wins and future.

You can listen to Tom Stenzel’s chat with us in December too, on the industry wins and losses in the COVID-19 relief bill.
