The defintiion of Fresh Market Tomatoes indicates only tomatoes that are field grown and that meet the applicable federal marketing order and florida tomato committee regulations will meet the definition of Fresh Market Tomatoes. What are the "applicable" regulations of the federal marketing order and florida tomato committee regulations that must be met? How are growers suppose to know which part of the regulations are "applicable" and are being applied? How will growers be notified of any changes to what are the "applicable" regulations and any changes to the regulations? Which regulation prevails if there is a conflict between them? The proposed definition is vague and leaves growers at risk of being without insurance because the definition and requirements are not clearly spelled out in the policy. Growers should not have to go to multiple different sources, including non governmental sources, to try to determine if what they are growing meets a definition in thier policy. With the proposed language a grower doesn't even know what part of the regulations are "applicable" even if they do go to the multiple sources.
