Are there similar "buy American" provisions for other products?
Yes! The legislative path for "buy American first" proposals is well worn. In fact, it was President Hoover that signed the "Buy American Act," into law in 1933, requiring the U.S. government to give purchasing preference for products that were made in the U.S.A. Today, many other industries have benefited from these types of laws and regulations that require the federal government to buy American first. The American Grown Act is needed to bring that kind of attention and awareness for purchase of flowers and foliage.
