Sorry. This is a significant correction to what I sent earlier.

Chrys


It appears that USDA is taking public comment on the leafy greens marketing agreement via email and snail mail, here:


http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/ams.fetchTemplateData.do?template=TemplateR&navID=ViewandSubmitComments&rightNav1=ViewandSubmitComments&topNav=&leftNav=&page=LeafyGreensComments&resultType=&acct=fvmktord

Copied from that page:

"AMS welcomes comments from groups or individuals to help us determine the level of support for the proposed marketing agreement for leafy green vegetables. Your comments can be sent via email to FVinfo AT ams.usda.gov or to the street address below:
