Committee Approves Changes To Maine's Wild Blueberry Commission

AUGUSTA, Maine - A Maine legislative committee has given its blessing to a proposal to change the makeup of the state's wild blueberry commission. Maine's wild blueberries are among the most important agricultural crops in New England, and the industry is experiencing a difficult stretch for harvest size and prices. The Maine Legislature is considering a proposal to increase the number of members on the commission from eight to 10 and encourage participation from different sectors of the industry.
 
The Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry voted in favor of passing the changes April 18. The proposal will face more votes in the Maine House of Representatives and Senate.
 
The Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine coordinates promotion, education, policy, research and development of the fruit. It's funded by a tax on industry members.
