MINOR
This bill updates the legal definition of a 'Producer' under North Dakota's dry pea and lentil council regulations. The change clarifies who qualifies as a producer by adding a rotation-based eligibility criterion, ensuring farmers who plant dry peas and lentils as part of a crop rotation within a six-year period are recognized even if they didn't plant them in the most recent season.
Scope change
The bill expands eligibility for the dry pea and lentil council by including producers who meet crop rotation requirements within a six-year period, in addition to those currently planting or who will plant in the next growing season.
DEFINITION
The definition of 'Producer' in section 4.1-07-01 was amended to add a third criterion (subdivision c) that recognizes producers who planted dry peas or lentils in the previous growing season and will plant them again within a six-year crop rotation cycle.
