California's flower farmers headed to Sacramento May 31 - June 2 to meet with legislators, share their stories and discuss pending legislation that affects their farms.
"It's important to promote and market," shared CCFC CEO Kasey Cronquist. "But if we're not advocating and building relationships with lawmakers, no amount of promotion will overcome the challenges that bad legislation can present."
