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.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The Agricultural Marketing Service, which administers marketing orders, delays the effective date of its Poultry Grower Payment Systems and Capital Improvement Systems rule from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027 while it considers what to do with it. That rule sits under the Packers and Stockyards Act, not under a marketing order or a checkoff program, and delaying it reduces neither the number nor the scope of either. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
