California Almond Growers To Vote On Marketing Order
February 12, 2014 California almond growers will vote on whether to continue their federal marketing order from Feb. 18-March 7.
Growers who have produced almonds in California from Aug. 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013, are eligible to vote. A continuance referendum is required every five years.
USDA would consider terminating the marketing order if less than two-thirds of the growers voting in the referendum, or growers representing less than two-thirds of the volume of almonds, vote in favor of the order.
