California Department of Food and Agriculture Secretary Karen Ross appointed four new members to the Producer Review Board (PRB) recently. They are Will Dyt of Corona, Kerri Vander Poel of Shafter, Art Van Beek of Tipton and Tony Nunes III of Tulare.
The continuing PRB board members are Case Van Steyn, Craig Gordon, Scott Magneson, Jarrid Bordessa, John Moons, Fred Douma, Arie De Jong, Joey Fernandes, Mike Gallo, Chuck Ahlem and Ted De Groot.
Under the new Quota Implementation Plan, the PRB is responsible for reviewing hardship quota transfer cases and the budget. It has also been charged with evaluating any petition for major program changes that may be submitted by producers in the future.
Regulations governing how any such petition would be handled were adopted by the PRB in December and you can read a draft of those here.
