Amendments May Help Exchange Control Citrus Fruits
Washington suggests new provisions under the amended Agricultural Adjustment Act could give the California Fruit Growers Exchange near total control of citrus marketing. If 75 percent of growers or 80 percent of shippers sign or agree, the Secretary may issue orders with presidential approval, potentially centralizing lemons and oranges under the exchange. Some see this as favorable flexibility benefiting independent California shippers and growers despite objections to partiality.
