Greenhouse Grower's Grower to Grower podcast features a conversation with Kamron Newberry, the Regulatory and Trade Policy Coordinator for AmericanHort, in an episode centered on trade, tariffs and phytosanitary issues.

The podcast presents conversations with growers, leaders and innovators in floriculture, covering subjects that range from advanced technology and next-generation plants to business challenges and changing consumer patterns.

In the episode, Brian D. Sparks, Editor of Greenhouse Grower and GreenhouseGrower.com, talks with Newberry about how growers can make sure they have the information they need as they plan for the coming year. The discussion also addresses how AmericanHort tracks plant movement across the border and the phytosanitary issues that come with it.

Newberry's role involves extensive work behind the scenes monitoring the constant shifts in trade and tariff policies, which the article describes as a defining pillar of the Trump administration. His background in horticulture, the piece notes, prepared him well for the position.

The episode is available on the podcast page and wherever listeners find their podcasts. Growers or team members interested in appearing as future guests are invited to contact the publication's editor.
