March 17, 2021 Earlier this year Texans were told that their onion marketing order would remain in place at least through this season, but last week the South Texas Onion Committee was surprised with sudden news that the marketing order was immediately being suspended. Now it seems things have changed once again and the USDA will be reinstating both the domestic and international regulations associated with the south Texas onions Federal Marketing Order. AMS is initiating a rulemaking process to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on a proposed rule to terminate the marketing order. In order to provide for a smooth transition and because the Texas onion season has already started, the requirement for grading and certification services performed by the Federal and Federal-State Inspection Service remain in effect until the rulemaking process concludes, said Sonia N. Jimenez, deputy administrator for Specialty Crops Program.
