Greenhouse Grower's Grower to Grower podcast has published a new episode featuring Kamron Newberry, Regulatory and Trade Policy Coordinator for AmericanHort. The conversation focuses on trade and tariff policy, cross-border plant movement and phytosanitary issues — areas of policy the show describes as a defining pillar of the Trump administration.

Newberry's position involves monitoring the constant shifts in trade and tariff policies. In the episode, he and Editor Brian D. Sparks discuss how growers can make sure they have the information they need as they plan for the coming year. They also examine how AmericanHort tracks plant movement across the border and the phytosanitary questions that accompany that movement. According to the show, Newberry's background in horticulture prepared him well for his current role.
