Tart cherry growers change how they pick their board members

The rules for how tart cherry growers elect their industry board just got simpler. This means it will be easier to determine who can serve on the board and how nominations are submitted.

Agricultural marketing orders are often complex, with rules that can make it hard for smaller growers to participate in industry governance. Simplifying these rules can make it easier for more growers to get involved and have a say in how their industry operates. This change might lead to a board that better reflects the diversity of growers in the tart cherry industry.
