Completed November 1, 2012: Regulation 391 (Asparagus - Plan) and Regulation 390 (Asparagus - Marketing) to revise the way a marketing board is constituted and to change its name to the "Asparagus Farmers of Ontario"

The Ontario Asparagus Growers Marketing Board has asked the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Commission (commission) to change its official name to "Asparagus Growers of Ontario" and also for changes to the way it is constituted. The requested changes are in response to the declining number of producers and the concentration of the industry in the Norfolk area and would require amendments to Regulations 391 and 390. The commission supports the requested amendments.
