Joined by esteemed guests Arianna Cabrera de Onã , Chief People Officer and General Counsel at Costa Farms, and Barney Rutzke Jr., President of Railroad Nursery, Inc., President of the Dade County Farm Bureau, and key member of various agricultural boards, this episode sets the stage for an intense conversation. 

Miami’s agricultural industry is on edge as commissioners prepare to sign a new Heat Ordinance.

Our guests bring their wealth of knowledge and experience to dissect the fine print that seems to impose unnecessary fines and regulations.

Gain insights into the real challenges these industries face, the potential economic effects, and what this ordinance could mean for the future of agriculture in the region.
