§ 77027 Walnut District Boundaries

Key Takeaways

  • •California is split into two walnut-growing areas: District 1 (northern counties) and District 2 (southern counties).
  • •District 1 includes counties north of San Mateo, Alameda, San Joaquin, Calaveras, and Alpine.
  • •District 2 includes all other walnut-growing counties south of that line.
  • •The lines can be changed if most of the commission and the secretary agree, to keep things fair for walnut growers.

Example

A walnut farmer in Fresno County wants to know which district they are in.

Fresno County is south of the line mentioned, so they are in District 2.

§ 77027 Walnut District Boundaries

(a) The districts consist of the following: (1) District 1 consists of the counties in the state that lie north of a line drawn on the south boundaries of the Counties of San Mateo, Alameda, San Joaquin, Calaveras, and Alpine. (2) District 2 consists of all other walnut producing counties in the state south of the boundary line set forth in paragraph (1). (b) The boundaries of any district may be changed by a two-thirds vote of the full commission, which is concurred in by the secretary, when necessary to maintain similar total production among the districts and to ensure proper representation by producers. These boundaries need not coincide with county lines. (Amended by Stats. 1995, Ch. 727, Sec. 86. Effective January 1, 1996.)
