Agricultural Marketing Service August 12, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This rule implements a recommendation from the Cherry Industry Administrative Board (Board) to establish free and restricted percentages for the 2023-24 crop year under the Federal marketing order for tart cherries grown in the States of Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. This action establishes the proportion of tart cherries from the 2023-24 crop that may be handled in commercial outlets. Adjusting supply to meet market demand should stabilize marketing conditions and help improve grower returns.
