Referendum on Continuation of the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program

[43 Pa.B. 2166]
[Saturday, April 20, 2013]

 Under the applicable provisions of 3 Pa.C.S. Chapter 45 (relating to Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act), a review referendum was held from March 4 to March 18, 2013, to determine if the producers affected by the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program (program) desired 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 met on March 27, 2013, to count the ballots. The following results were submitted by the Teller Committee: a total of 466 eligible votes were cast with 396 producers voting in favor of and 70 voting against the continuation of the program. An additional eight ballots were invalid because five were not signed and three were postmarked and received after the deadline. Votes favoring continuation of the program by number of producers represented 85% of eligible votes and votes against continuation of the program represented 15% of eligible votes. Because a majority of the votes were cast in favor of the program, the program shall continue for 5 years, effective immediately.

Secretary
