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. While the industry is no stranger to safety regulations, this proposed ordinance has sent shockwaves through the agricultural sector. Our guests bring their wealth of knowledge and experience to dissect the fine print that seems to impose unnecessary fines and regulations.
