## Abstract

This rule establishes the quantity of cranberries that handlers may purchase from, or handle for, growers during the 2000-2001 crop year, which begins on September 1, 2000, and ends on August 31, 2001. The order regulates the handling of cranberries grown in 10 States and is administered locally by the Cranberry Marketing Committee (Committee). This rule establishes a marketable quantity of 5.468 million barrels, allows for some adjustment of this figure based on final calculations of sales histories, and establishes an allotment percentage of 85 percent. This action is designed to stabilize marketing conditions and improve grower returns. Fresh and organically- grown cranberries are exempt from the volume limitations to facilitate marketing of these products. This rule also revises the method in which growers' sales histories are computed and suspends certain dates in the order which are impractical.
