Amendment to Cover all Handlers and Referendum Order for Watermelon Research and Promotion Plan

The US Department of Agriculture has proposed a rule to expand the Watermelon Research and Promotion Plan to cover all handlers of watermelons, including wholesalers, processors, and importers, requiring them to pay assessments and file reports. The amendment aims to increase assessment income and must be approved by a majority of eligible watermelon producers, handlers, and importers in a referendum.
