Almonds Grown in California; Extension of Inedible Disposition Obligation Deadline
Publisher-desk brief on Agriculture Department FR 2026-19887 (2026-09-29). Use the filing for dates and comment paths.
USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service extended California almond inedible-disposition obligations — a grower-handler rule with real silo economics.
Marketing-order extensions keep quality and disposition rules in force while the industry argues the next amendment; handlers price that uncertainty into contracts.
Filing abstract (agency text): This final rule implements a recommendation from the Almond Board of California to extend the inedible disposition obligation deadline prescribed under the Federal marketing order for almonds grown in California from September 30 to November 30 indefinitely.
Almond handlers and California co-ops: confirm the extension term and disposition percentage language in the AMS notice before you settle pools.
