Continuation of the Pennsylvania Apple Program

[52 Pa.B. 3110]
[Saturday, May 28, 2022]

 Under the applicable provisions of 3 Pa.C.S. §§ 4501—4513 (relating to Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act), a referendum was held from March 21, 2022, to April 18, 2022, to determine if the producers affected by the Pennsylvania Apple Program (Program) wished to continue the Program for an additional 5 years. To pass, a majority of eligible producers voting had to vote in favor of the Program's continuation. An impartial Teller Committee (Committee) met on May 9, 2022, to count the ballots. The following results were submitted by the Committee: a total of 83 eligible votes were cast with 54 producers voting in favor of and 29 voting against the continuation of the Program. There were six spoiled or ineligible ballots returned to the Department of Agriculture (Department). One ballot was ineligible because it was returned to the Department due to an invalid mailing address. Two ballots were ineligible because they were not from affected producers. One ballot was ineligible because the vote was cast and signed by an individual other than the contact to which the ballot was addressed. Two ballots were ineligible because the envelopes in which they were delivered were not postmarked. Of the total votes: 61% were affirmative votes, 33% were negative votes and 7% were spoiled or ineligible ballots. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number and therefore do not add to 100. In accordance with the foregoing, the Program shall continue for 5 years, effective immediately.
