pounds is not sufficient for the foreseeable future. From an almond grower perspective, we can predict that the first half of the crop will sell at a higher price. By December, we will know where the crop stands; the industry will be 70 percent sold. Thankfully, the industry is optimistic and predicting a 2.4 billion-pound crop. With this in mind, we will continue to maintain our promise of competitive returns. What makes Blue Diamond unique is that we are owned and governed by our growers. We’re proud to be a co-op and proud that every grower has an equal voice when it comes to the best interests of Blue Diamond . In this issue of Almond Facts, you will find information about the upcoming elections. I encourage you to be an active member either by running for a seat on the Board of Directors or Liaison Committee and by simply casting your ballot to elect members to these positions. This year it will be easier for you to cast your vote with options to vote on paper, online, or by phone. By increasing participation in elections, Blue Diamond is one step closer to achieving its collective goals and realizing the Best is Yet to Come . 7 J U L Y – A U G U S T 2 0 1 9
