Pear growers support continuing marketing order N orthwest pear growers overwhelmingly voted in favor of con- tinuing participation in a federal marketing order to collectively promote their fruit. Ninety-seven percent of fresh pear growers in Washington and Oregon favored continuing the marketing order. The total vote rep- resents 90 percent of production volume. Eighty-nine percent of Oregon processed pear growers voted in favor, while 97 percent of Washington processed pear growers approved the extension. The total vote accounts for 68 percent of pro- duction volume. To be extended, the order must receive two-thirds approval from growers responsible for two-thirds of the pears produced during the production year. The order, administered locally by the Fresh Pear and Processed Pear Committees, provides authority for grade, size and quality regu- lations, for inspection and for research projects to benefit pear grow- ers in Washington and Oregon.
