The Know

On August 20, 2014, Western Growers hosted a webinar to get feedback on 20 proposed revisions to the leafy green guidelines submitted through this process. This webinar was originally scheduled on June 30, 2014 but postponed for logistical issues.

Four different parties submitted proposed revisions that will be reviewed/discussed by the Arizona Leafy Greens Technical Subcommittee & California LGMA Technical Committee by the end of September and early in October 2014.

From March 10, 2014 to April 10, 2014, WG will be gathering proposed changes to 7 of the 15 issues included in the leafy green guidance document. Two word versions of these issues are attached for this purpose (the first one includes parts of the Arizona guidance document and the second one of the California one). Proposed changes may be tracked in these documents and submitted by email at ssalas@wga.com or by fax at 949-809-6251.

Western Growers accepted comments and proposed revisions to the current LGMA leafy green guidance document from February 1st to March 1st. Input from three different parties was received. To learn about these proposed revisions, join our upcoming webinar (online discussion) on April 30, 2013 at 9:00 am PDT. Please register to confirm your participation.

From March 06, 2012 to April 6, 2012 Western Growers was asking for proposed changes to Issues 13 & 14 of the document ( Production Locations). This period closed without proposed changes related to these sections. However, a previous idea in a different section was resubmitted for consideration. This proposed change was accepted by the Arizona LGMA in a previous period, but was not accepted by the California LGMA.
