Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program Amendment Referendum

[42 Pa.B. 7418]
[Saturday, December 8, 2012]

 Under the applicable provisions of 3 Pa.C.S. Chapter 45 (relating to Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act), an amendment referendum was held from October 22 to November 5, 2012, to determine if the producers affected by the Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program (program) desired to make changes to the program as described in the original ballot mailing to producers. To pass, a majority of eligible producers voting had to vote in favor of the amendment referendum and the representative acreage must be in the majority as well. An impartial Teller Committee met on November 15, 2012, to count the ballots. The following results were submitted by the Teller Committee: a total of 341 eligible votes were cast with 266 producers voting in favor of and 75 producers voting against the amendment referendum. An additional 21 ballots were invalid because they were either incomplete or ineligible due to the acreage requirement. Eligible producers voting in favor of the program's amendment referendum represented 78% of the votes and 75% of production acreage. Producers voting against the proposed amendments represented 22% of the votes and 25% of production acreage. Because a majority of the votes and represented acreage were cast in favor of the referendum, the program amendment referendum shall become effective immediately.
