The USDA is funding this second referendum. Every vote counts, and you are encouraged to make your choice on the future of the RCTB. The referendum will determine the future of the RCTB – either continued industry support or permanent closure with no opportunity for reinstatement of the organization. This is an opportunity for growers to decide whether the program continues. You can vote using a paper ballot or electronically. Choose the option that is most convenient for you. Please review the voting packet delivered to you via FedEx and follow these easy steps: 1. Cast your vote 2. Sign and date your ballot (do not forget this step) 3.
