By March 11, 2021 The South Texas Onion Committee was dumbstruck at 3:30 p.m. on March 9. A USDA Agricultural Marketing Service representative in Florida, the liaison to the South Texas Onion Committee, called Dante Galeazzi with sudden news that the marketing order was immediately being suspended. Galeazzi, who is the executive manager of the South Texas Onion Committee, told The Produce News on March 10 that he and other Texas onion leaders met with the AMS via Zoom in January. The Texans were told that their onion marketing order would remain in place at least through this season. The future of the marketing order would be reviewed before the 2022 Texas onion season.
