Market Reminder
ALFN Members,
Remember to finalize your order in the market before tomorrow at noon. Thanks to the ingenuity of many of our growers who extend seasons, spring produce is already here. I can’t get over the kind of greens, lettuces and root crops available right now. Don’t worry, the veggies will be there next week, but why wait?
DARK Act
The DARK Act is up for a vote in the Senate tomorrow. If approved, the law would not require mandatory labeling on GMO products. The industry has spend more than 100 million in lobbying efforts to fight mandatory GMO labeling. With circus act underway in the main tent, it is possible this approval could quietly be passed into law. If you get a chance, call your senator and give ’em an ear full!
Stay on your game out there! Pack sunscreen and mittens for the rest of the week:)
Cheers,
Kyle Holton
