“We thank Chairmen Thompson and Boozman and their teams for prioritizing critical investments in specialty crops.  The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ is a win for apple growers. USApple and our specialty crop allies advocated tirelessly for key programs, including research and export promotion efforts, which received increased funding. USApple also supported tax provisions such as estate tax relief and bonus depreciation.”
