We also had a few questions we were hoping you could help with:
1) On both (Apple and Tart Cherry) rules, the "Agricultural Cooperative
Association" is referenced - Is this simply the marketing board? Is it CMI? If not, do you
know what this is and if it's still in operation? (referenced in R65-5-4b1
2) Also, on the Tart Cherry Rule: " ([8]5) "Processor" means any person in
Utah engaged in canning, freezing, dehydrating, fermenting, distilling, extracting,
preserving, grinding, crushing, or in any other way preserving or changing the form
of Red Tart or Sour C[c]herries to market them.
([9]8) "Producer" means any person in Utah in the business of producing or
causing Red Tart or Sour cherries to be produced that have at least 300 trees or have
received at least $500 from a processor for the previous year's production." It seems
interesting that the "producer" section specifies a quantity/threshold, but
the "processor" section does not. So, if a business cans or otherwise
processes just one jar of cherries, they would be included... do you want to
add a threshold to this?
