    The Agricultural Marketing Service of the USDA has issued a final rule suspending the reporting and assessment requirements for the marketing order regulating Irish potatoes grown in Washington. This suspension is in place as the USDA processes the State of Washington Potato Committee's request to terminate the marketing order. The Committee found that the suspension of these requirements has not negatively impacted the industry and determined that continuing the order is unnecessary. This action is expected to reduce the regulatory burden on handlers and producers of Washington potatoes.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided to pause some rules about reporting and fees for people growing certain potatoes in Washington because stopping these rules doesn't seem to cause any problems, and it might make things easier for the farmers.

    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Agricultural Marketing Service of the USDA has ordered a referendum among potato producers in certain counties in Idaho and Malheur County, Oregon. This referendum will determine whether these producers want to continue the existing marketing order that manages how their Irish potatoes are handled. The voting process will take place from April 12 to April 30, 2021, and is open to those who grew potatoes between August 1, 2019, and July 31, 2020. If at least two-thirds of the producers voting, or those representing two-thirds of the potato volume, support continuation, the order will remain in effect.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine some farmers growing potatoes in a few special places in Idaho and Oregon. They have to vote to decide if they want to keep using certain rules to help them sell their potatoes. If most of them say "yes," they will keep the rules.
