In response to the comments of the keynote speaker at this year’s Convention, the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association Board of Directors wishes to state that the Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention is intended to be a non-partisan educational event serving the needs of all growers. PVGA has not in the past nor will in the future support particular political parties or candidates. The personal opinions expressed by the keynote and session speakers are those of the presenters and should not be construed as representing the views of PVGA, the other sponsoring associations, their individual members or the cooperating educational institutions. The intention of PVGA is to help growers through research, the discernment and recognition of good research, and the understanding of science with regard to growing healthy food with a final concern for how we leave things to future generations.
