Marketing Order Set For Vote
Harrisburg AP says Pennsylvania voters will decide on a statewide apple marketing order after hearings May 24-25. Secretary William Hennings says the plan aims to boost promotion and research as per capita fruit consumption declines. The order requires two thirds approval by growers representing over half the crop and sets fees on larger orchards to fund promotions. An advisory nine member board would guide promotion efforts with a mail referendum counted by a mixed-opponent/proponent committee. If approved, the act affects about 800 growers.
