Referendum on the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program
[28 Pa.B. 2152] Under the applicable provisions of the Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act, a referendum was held from March 20 to April 3, 1998, to determine if the producers affected by the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program (program) desired to have the program continue for another 5 years. In order to pass, a majority of eligible producers voting had to vote in favor of the program continuing. An impartial Teller Committee met on April 9, 1998, to count the ballots. The following results were submitted by the Teller Committee: a total of 589 eligible votes were cast, with 389 producers voting in favor of and 200 producers voting against continuing the program. The eligible votes favoring continuation of the program represented 66.0% of the eligible votes and those against continuation of the program represented 34.0% of the eligible votes. There were 13 spoiled or ineligible ballots. Because a majority of the votes were cast in favor of the program, the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program shall continue for another 5 years.
