The U.S. Department of Agriculture will conduct a referendum Feb. 14 to March 4, 2022, on the proposed changes to the California desert grape marketing order. The California Desert Grape Administrative Committee, which locally administers the marketing order, recommended the proposed changes of decreasing its membership from 12 to 10 members and modifying its quorum and voting requirements accordingly.
The proposed changes would become effective if favored by two-thirds of the growers voting in the referendum or by two-thirds of the volume represented in the referendum.
