Blueberry growers from top production regions in the U.S. are banding together calling for a level playing field during the American growing season.
President of the Michigan Blueberry Advisory Committee Rex Schultz, a grower from Southwest Michigan, tells Brownfield profits have dropped by at least 30 percent in Michigan alone during the past five years.
“And that doesn’t include the increases that we’ve been hit with which is somewhere between 15-20 percent on our input costs,” he says.
