<div><span>Hello Fellow
Horticulturalists and
Farmers,</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>I debated whether I
should opine or not…there
seems to be so little
tolerance these days for
alternative view points.
Yet, to suggest that
politics don’t influence our
businesses and farms would
be not only a mistake but
also a disservice to our
goal of helping and
supporting one another who
grow apples. What I can
share with you with
confidence as a full time
family farm owner in New
Jersey is that farming under
the Obama administration was
more difficult, more costly,
and much more challenging
than any other time in my 35
years of farming. I have
seen a steady increase in
the direct costs associated
with regulatory compliance
as well as the amount of
management time that I and
my team spend simply making
sure that our business can
operate….none of which helps
us grow a better apple for
our customers. We are only
10 days into the new
administration and I can
tell you that I look forward
to the opportunity to
advance our family business
to the next generation in an
environment that once again
values and rewards the
entrepreneur, hard work,
rural values, and the risk
that we all take each year
as farmers. I also look
forward to a positive
business environment that
will allow us to expand our
farm, purchase and preserve
more farmland, employ more
people, and stimulate the
local economy.</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Simply stated….I am
very excited!</span></div>
<div><span> </span></div>
<div><span>Best wishes for a
successful growing season
and may God Bless the United
States of America.</span></div>
