Who the hell comes up with a fixed delivery date for an item dependent on nature to mature ? Must be a democrat on Obama’s orders.
The federal Vidalia Onion Committee and the State of Georgia.
I'm not kidding.
As Vidalia onions became more popular and valuable, farmers further and further away from Vidalia began to market their onions as Vidalia onions. Farmers close to Vidalia wanted to limit the region that could legally market onions as Vidalia onions. Farmers further removed from Vidalia wanted to cash in on the Vidalia onion market.
In 1986, the Georgia legislature compromised, giving the Vidalia onion legal status and defining a 20-county production area.
In 1989, Vidalia onion producers established Federal Marketing Order No. 955 for the crop. This USDA program created the Vidalia Onion Committee and extended the definition of a Vidalia onion to the federal level.
