Reduce marketing orders and checkoff programs
What the document says“Reduce the number and scope of marketing orders and checkoff programs.”
Marketing orders regulate how a commodity is handled and sold, and checkoff programs collect mandatory assessments from producers to fund promotion. The chapter asks that new requests be rejected as far as the law allows and existing programs eliminated where possible, noting that petition processes make it difficult for affected parties to end them.
What the document actually says“Reduce the number and scope of marketing orders and checkoff programs.”
Cut the number of these programs. Cut how far they reach.
Some programs control how a crop is sold. Others charge farmers a fee to pay for adverts. The book says there should be fewer of both.
