Walnuts Grown in California; Suspension of Provision Regarding Eligibility of Walnut Marketing Board Members

Summary

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has adopted a final rule suspending a provision regarding the eligibility of Walnut Marketing Board members, allowing the Board to continue representing the industry's interests while the walnut marketing order is amended to reflect changes in industry structure. The decision was made after the Board unanimously recommended a suspension action by mail balloting in July 2005.
