Dr. Frank Wong, one of Bayer's Industry Affairs Directors, discusses his shift in opinion about biological solutions on this week\\u2019s episode of Voices of the Valley. \\u201cI would say that [during] the last two decades of my career, I\\u2019ve always been really cynical about biologics,\\u201d Frank says. In this episode, he discusses how and why he\\u2019s a recent convert on the issue. In the end, he says, it all comes down to supporting and providing tools for growers.

With new regulatory pressures presenting themselves all the time on both state and federal levels, Frank discusses the need for options, but acknowledges it isn\\u2019t going to be easy. \\u201cIt\\u2019s certainly challenging for maintaining tools that actually allow you to produce fruits and vegetables that you can sell and market\\u2026There needs to be a way to address those types of challenges,\\u201d he said.
