Advocacy

Strength in Numbers

With your help, we continue to influence change, ensuring the industry’s stability and your success. We believe there is strength in numbers and together, our voice is powerful.

Your Political Voice

Western Growers is on the front line in Sacramento, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. fighting on our members’ behalf. We never stop working to make sure you have what you need to produce the healthy food that feeds the world.

Water Supply

Water supply is ranked by Western Growers' members as one of the most important sustainability priorities requiring the association's full attention and support. It is something WG's staff focuses on every day.

Water Quality

Western Growers represents our members to mitigate unbalanced legislative and regulatory proposals that would place undue burden and restrictions on the fresh produce farmers who grow our food.

Work Place Regulations

Labor shortages and work place regulations are critical issues for our industry and our employees.

Environment

We know our members care for their land and natural resources; after all, it is their livelihood. Our Government Affairs team works with policy makers to ensure, if legislation is required, it is developed using sound science and proven data.

Crop Protection

Western Growers is engaged in the defense of critical crop protection tools and remains active at the federal, state and local levels.

Immigration

Immigration has been a critical issue for Western Growers members. For years, we have fought for a legal and stable workforce that not only supports our industry but ensures those who have worked along side our members are treated with decency and respect.

Health Care

With the ever-changing landscape of health care, our members count on Western Growers' expertise for guidance on providing effective and compliant health care benefits for their workforces.
