represents over one-half of the
total U.S. production. By number
of growers, 68.5 percent voted for
the assessment increase. A two

number of growers was needed to
pass the referendum.

assessment rate has been one cent
since the Board’s inception in 1971.
With the two-cent assessment rate,
the Board’s budget would increase
