Here is yesterday's news release from the CDFA about the leafy greens advisory board. A 13-member board with 10 alternates was named. A spokesman for the CDFA said that 41 handlers have signed the leafy greens agreement, representing about 90% of volume of the state's leafy green volume. The CDFA will release a full list of all the signatories by April 1.
"We don't think it's fair to say someone is out at this point when they may be coming in," said Steve Lyle. director of public affairs for the CDFA.

TK: I don't want to call out a fellow chronicler of produce news, but it's not insightful or productive to judge participation of firms, much less motive and intention, before the ink is dry on the leafy greens agreement on April 1.
