South Texas Onion Committee seeking members
The South Texas Onion Committee is seeking producer and handler nominees for District 1, which covers the Coastal Bend and RioGrande Valley regions.
“The (committee) plays an important role in ensuring producers and handlers get the best price for their products. We are always looking for new industry members to sit on the committee, keeping the energy-level high and bringing new ideas.” Dante Galeazzi, South Texas Onion Committee manager, said in a news release.
“I would like to encourage the onion industry to get involved; our onion marketing order helps create a level playing field,” Steve Cargil, chairman of the committee, said in the release.
The committee has scheduled a nomination and budget meeting for June 7 at the Texas International Produce Association office, Mission.
