Greenhouse Grower's Grower to Grower podcast continues its run of conversations with people shaping the future of floriculture, spanning advanced technology and next-generation plants as well as business challenges and changing consumer patterns.

The newest episode features Kamron Newberry, Regulatory and Trade Policy Coordinator for AmericanHort. In that role, Newberry works largely behind the scenes monitoring the constant shifts in trade and tariff policy, which the episode describes as a defining pillar of the Trump administration.

In conversation with host and Greenhouse Grower Editor Brian D. Sparks, Newberry discusses how growers can make sure they have the information they need as they plan for the coming year. The episode also covers how AmericanHort tracks plant movement across the border and the phytosanitary issues that accompany that movement.

According to the episode, Newberry's background in horticulture prepared him well for his current position, giving him grounding in the plant side of the regulatory and trade questions he now handles.

The Grower to Grower series is produced by Greenhouse Grower and GreenhouseGrower.com, with episodes available on the publication's site and wherever listeners find podcasts. Growers and members of growing teams who would make interesting future guests are invited to reach out to the editorial team by email.
