2025 - Your Commission at Work

Strong Representation, Stronger Industry

North Carolina sweetpotatoes are represented at both the state and national levels thanks to the Commission’s partnerships with two advocacy teams. Connect C champions our growers in state government, while Jenkins Hill Consulting works on our behalf in Washington, D.C. These representatives make sure decision-makers have a clear understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing our farms. By sharing data and real stories from the field, our partners help lawmakers see the impact their choices have on growers and rural communities. We are fortunate to have such strong advocates working to keep sweetpotatoes—and the people who grow them—at the table for important conversations.
