The comment period for proposed changes to the California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement-approved metrics related to agricultural water metrics has been extended from May 13, 2026, to May 20, 2026, due to requests for additional time from stakeholders.
The comment period originally opened on Monday, April 13, 2026, to provide stakeholders an opportunity to review the proposed changes and submit feedback as part of the LGMA metrics update process. The extension provides additional time for leafy greens industry members and other stakeholders to review the working drafts and provide thoughtful, rationale-based comments.
Western Growers will now host the web discussion on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 11 a.m. PT. During the webinar, proposed changes to the LGMA-approved metrics will be publicly presented by the corresponding submitter, with open dialogue allowed for attendees. Participants will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on submitted comments and share additional input with the working group.
Those who submit comments will be given the opportunity to participate in the webinar and provide brief remarks or additional information.
