California Plants 525,000 acres of rice each year and produces the highest yields in the nation. Zwinger, a commodities broker, made the trip to keep rice producer's interest on the policy table. "Secretary Schafer understands agriculture and the critical role that producers play in protecting the global food supply. I'm honored to have discussed my clients' interest with him," he said.
