The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is set to end Marketing Order No. 929, which oversees the cranberry industry in several states. This decision comes after the Cranberry Marketing Committee's authority to collect assessments and reports was suspended in October 2023 due to a referendum that lacked producer support. A 60-day public comment period was held, and following review of the comments, the USDA decided to terminate the order. The agency also notified Congress, as per the requirement to wait 60 days before terminating a federal marketing order. The USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) oversees marketing orders and agreements for fruit, vegetable, and specialty crops, ensuring fiscal accountability and program integrity.
