Sweet Onion Producers in Washington's Walla Walla Valley and Oregon Vote
The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced that sweet onion producers in the Walla Walla Valley of Southeast Washington and Northeast Oregon voted to continue their federal marketing order program.
Thirty-five percent of the eligible producers representing 35 percent of the volume of onions shipped during the representative period participated in the referendum. One hundred percent of those voting - both by number and volume - favored continuance of the order.
The order requires a continuance referendum be held every six years during the month of May. To continue an order, a majority of the producers voting in the referendum, or producers representing a majority of the volume of these onions, must vote in favor of the order.
